RE: [xsl] Testing 2 XML documents for equality - a solution

[Mukul Gandhi <mukul_gandhi@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is a nice feature provided by Saxon (infact very
nice). And is much more optimized than the named
template I wrote (in the stylesheet I posted last), as
Saxon's function runs in native Java code.. 

My named template has limitation that it can calculate
XPath string for element nodes only. But Saxon's
path() function can calculate XPath string for "all
types of nodes"..

I would explore it to use in my stylesheet.

Mukul
