But I am not quite sure what you mean with element content. Referring to your second example I think you mean mixed content type. If this is the case, I have to answer that it is not necessary to support mixed content type. With same content of XML-Files I mean that two XML-Files are some kind of canonical equivalent. So also the names of the tags and the attributes have to be the same. Character data of an element containing ignorable whitespace would be for example canonical equivalent to the same character data without the ignorable whitespace.
