For the persnickety or detail-oriented (with your thanks):

At 01:17 PM 10/20/2003, you wrote: 
<hey>
  <this>
    <is>nuts</is>
  </this>
</hey>

The values of the root, of the <hey>, <this> and <is> elements are all the same: "nuts". So .=/ tests true for all these cases.

This is true if we strip the whitespace from the source (which I'm in the habit of doing when I know it's safe), not if otherwise....

OTOH, for

<hey><this><is>nuts</is></this></hey>

... the values really *are* the same ...

Cheers,
Wendell
