I'd like to see either one of these two statements added to the end of
section 3.4.3:

   a)   As a limiting case, an empty message body would be canonicalized
into a single CRLF pair.

   b)   An empty message body should be canonicalized into an empty string.

But isn't even the simple canonicalization then supposed to discard blank lines at the end of the message, thus rendering those two the same?

Or what am I missing?
