I believe that rule #3 of Section 3 takes precedence over the 
special-case rules in the base C14N document.  Further, the 
non-normative sample implementation has no special-casing for the XML 
namespace.

I see that IBM xss4j (which calls its excl-c14n experimental) gets it 
wrong (i.e., they give what you expect, not what I think it should be).
