Re: Canonical Form (Re: [ANN] InstantYAML is released)

PyYAML is used to produce the canonical form.
When I read the specification:
"Canonical Form ... is a Unicode character string ..."

I think you are right and it should be "Über" instead of "\xDCber".

I think it is better to contact PyYAML developers to ask for clarification.
