[xsl] comparing a part of the XML tree

[Jethro Borsje <jethro@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everybody,

I am starting this new thread, because the discussion does not fit the 
subject of the previous thread anymore.

My situation is as follows: My user selects a subset of the original XML 
file. After this action I need to compare the selection of the user to 
the original. Once I find the location of the selection inside the 
original I have to surround this selection with a new tag, say 
"<selected>", and "</selected>". I have placed an example of text online 
at http://www.jborsje.nl/example.txt, so you can see what I mean.

One way I can think of is iterating over all of the elements of the 
original, each time calling the "deep-equal()" function, but I do not 
know if that is the best approach.
