I agree. Both XML signature and encryption have a lot of "black magic" type settings.

In this specific case I propose we use the Exclusive w/ comment C14N algo as the default.

Scott, Brent, what do you think?

Hi All,

I think the new opensaml implementation is really good. It has good
javadocs and very intuitive.

I'd like to put forward my idea as a user. If you guys can set a default
CanonicalizationAlgorithm to the Signature object, it will be good.
I am saying that because when using opensaml-1.0 I was unaware of the
the canonicalization method, and when using the new library, in order to
fix a signature verification problem I had to read about the four C14N
canonicalization methods.

Thank you,
Dimuthu
