[Bug 27001] Terminology: identity

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27001

--- Comment #4 from C. M. Sperberg-McQueen <cmsmcq@blackmesatech.com> ---
A note on a point of detail, for the record.  In comment 3, Jonathan Robie
writes

   The word "identical" is not a technical term that is defined in our model.

I'm assuming that "in our model" here means "in our specifications". (If not,
this remark will be irrelevant.)

In context, I believe JR is referring to the term "identical" as applied to
values.  But "identical" is defined for values in our specifications, in
section 1.6.4 Properties of functions [1] of Functions and Operators.  And in
section 2.3 Node Identity [2], the XDM spec answers explicitly the question JR
declines to answer.
