3) Add a standards compliant canonicalization tool (see 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_XML ).  This is likely to be the 
right-way-to-do-it but takes time and energy.

4) Fix the tests in the third-party modules to be more focused on their actual 
test objectives, the semantics of the generated XML rather than the exact 
serialization.  This option would seem like the right-thing-to-do but it isn't 
trivial because the entire premise of the existing test is invalid.  For every 
case, we'll actually have to think through what the test objective really is.

I think the combination of options 3 and 4 is the right thing. Not always the stable output is needed, in these cases option 4 should be considered. But there are valid use cases for the stable output, in these cases we need to provide an alternative in the stdlib. I am working on this.
