    // XML canonicalization.  This example demonstrates how to do inclusive XML canonicalization.

    // This is the input XML:
    // The XML comment is referring to when exclusive XML canonicalization is applied.  With inclusive canonicalization, the namespace nodes
    // are kept, as we'll see below..

    // <doc>
    // <!-- A namespace node N is ignored if the nearest ancestor element of the node's parent element that is in the node-set has a namespace node in the node-set with the same local name and value as N. -->
    // 	<animal xmlns:aa="https://www.animal.com/">
    // 		<reptile xmlns:bb="https://www.reptile.com/">
    //   			<lizard xmlns="" type="african fat tailed" abc="xyz" xmlns:aa="https://www.animal.com/" />

    // The C14N (inclusive) canonicalization is:

    // <doc>

    // 	<animal xmlns:aa="https://www.animal.com/">

    //   			</snake>

    // To see the difference, let's do exclusive canonicalization..
