I observed a possible bug in the CanonicalizerBase class. If the node
passed to method canonicalizeSubTree(Node, NameSpaceSymbTable) is of
type DocumentFragment, currently an exception is thrown. I think the
behavior in such a case should be same as that for a Document type node.
Just wanted to confirm this. I have also pasted the patch below (Note
that the patch is against the 1.2.1 version of the code).
