Description
In lxml, pretty-printing requires an extra roundtrip of the signature node and/or the whole doc, but it is supported (it just has to be done separately from canonicalization).
This issue is about adding an option or class setting to permit pretty-printing at the cost of this extra roundtrip.

Research direction
Start by tracing how signxml handles canonicalization and serialization of the signature node and whole document, then verify lxml's pretty-print behavior separately from canonicalization. Done means an option or class setting permits pretty-printing with the documented extra roundtrip, with tests covering the resulting output.
