A second function to serialize xml documents may sound a bit redundant,
but I totally understand the concern of possibly conflicting with
SQL/XMl spec in the feature. I guess we can always come back here and
extend xmlserialize when the SQL committee moves in this direction.

v14 attached adds the function xmlcanonicalize, as suggested.
