XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[John Cowan <jcowan AT reutershealth.com>]

A quick look at Canonicalizer.java for XOM 1.1d5 suggests (and I
haven't tested this) that it propagates xml:* attributes to children
in both whole documents and fragments.  This is contrary to Canonical
XML 1.0, which restricts such behavior to "when an XPath node-set is
given as input and the element's parent is omitted from the node-set"
(section 2.4, paragraph 2).

I haven't looked at XOM 1.0 to see if it has this problem also.
