[OpenID] DSig with (server-generated) dynamic content

There was a discussion some time back about the dangers of parsing an
*entire* web page for OpenID headers, since a guestbook (or comments
by visiting users) might be embedded further down the page,
statically, instead of left for inclusion with JScript by a browser.
One of the challenges I keep expecting to hear that DSig has solved
somehow is normalizing XML files so that they always produce the same
hash for the same data despite different collections of that data
each having their own whitespace outside the tags, and those tags
being in no particular order.
I'm thinking of HTML as XML, signable - and wondering whether anyone
working with DSig has looked at signing webpages in this way, before?
