Hmmm....if I redid the "sort" part of the patch to stand completely on its own, rename the option to XML_SAVE_CANONICAL, and used it to implement the "Canonical XML" spec instead, would that likely be more acceptable? I could do a respin of the in-tag pretty-printing patch afterward if anyone thought it was still worth discussing/speccing.
