  IMHO, the first step is to define what 'to be meaningfully
equivalent' means for two XML documents.  Do the whitespace text nodes
count?  Do all attributes count (think for example about generated
IDs)?  Do the order of the elements always count?

  IMHO all those questions cannot be answered without the context of a
specific document type.
