I am indeed validating. I've found a workaround, in the end, which consists of serializing and re-parsing every document before I sign it in the Java code, which at least ensures that I'm not signing any denormalized data, and then doing the same thing before actually emitting the document that gets passed to xmlsec to normalize the unsigned bits of the document too (libxml appears to not normalize strings even when it validates). So whose bright idea was it to set <xs:whitespace value="collapse" fixed="true"/> on the base64Binary type, anyway? *grump* m.
