Really? Our first principle was "do no harm to existing rendering".
Changing the body in *any* way violates that. Full stop. We seriously
do not want to go there.
Reread the suggestions. Nobody is suggesting that the body content
actually be
changed in transit. Rather, what is being suggested is that if you're
going to
use a strict canonicalization scheme it might be a good idea to initially
construct the message in a way that obviates the need for certain well
known in
transit changes.
Are you suggesting these as additional caveats to section 5.2.1?
