An example where canonicalization does not behave well with extensions


Maximilian Huber
 

Hey Spdx-tech@,

I created a small issue [1] that describes a hypothetical extension,
which in my mind does not behave well, if a downstream consumer does not
understand the semantics.

I still think that extensions should to be in their own optional profile
(see [2]) and potentially also excluded from the integrity checking via
canonicalization.

Best
Max
