My office mate and I look up words all the time, and there are hundreds
and hundreds of commonly used words in the technical field that are either
not in the dictionary, or don't list the meaning we use. The author didn't
make up this use of cononicalize, it's been done before, and a lot of us
would know just what he was talking about.
An example of a word that we use differently than the rest of the world
is default. We talk about something having a default value, or defaulting
to a certain thing. This sort of meaning for default is not in most
dictionaries.
