Note that an XSLT processor will never see spaces in tags, for
example
 <foo bar="baz">
and
 <foo               bar="baz">
can't be distinguished. Other problems are entities and
character references:
 A
and
 &#x00000000000000000000000041;
is the same (ok, I may have exaggerated the leading zeroes a bit).
