I see points 1. what about behaviour of NO INDENT - the implementation is not too old, so it can be changed if we want (I think), and it is better to do early than too late 2. Are we able to implement SQL/XML syntax with libxml2? 3. Are we able to implement Oracle syntax with libxml2? And there are benefits other than higher possible compatibility? 4. Can there be some possible collision (functionality, syntax) with CANONICAL? 5. SQL/XML XMLSERIALIZE supports other target types than varchar. I can imagine XMLSERIALIZE with CANONICAL to bytea (then we don't need to force database encoding). Does it make sense? Are the results comparable? > -- > Jim > >
