I decided it was worth looking at whether C14N can be offered as an XSLT serialization option (saxon:canonical="yes") and it seems easy enough. The main changes needed to the existing XML serializer seem to be: (a) <empty></empty> for empty elements (b) sorting of namespaces alphabetically (by prefix, though the spec seems unclear) (c) sorting of attributes by name - equivalent to the existing Saxon 9.8 option saxon:attribute-order="". (d) inserting newlines before/after top-level comments and processing instructions. Are there any other implications anyone knows of?
