Yes, some kind of canonicalization sounds like what you want.

If you have qnames in content (E.g., like xslt), then you need exc-c14n.
Do you have to care about namespace declarations moving?
        <foo xmlns:tns="....">
             <tns:xxx>...
compared to
        <foo>
             <tns:xxx xmlns:tns="....">...
If not, then a simple expat-based processor that sorted attributes
and always wrote closing tags will probably work fine.
