Re: RDF/XML Tests and new XMLLiteral tests

test008

https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/rdf/raw-file/default/rdf-xml/tests/xmlliteral/test008.rdf

Is not well formed XML. ex is never defined. I am therefor worried about
anything that is currently claiming to pass (or even run) these tests.
Also, equivalence for testing would require comparing by value and not by
lexical value which requires http://www.w3.org/TR/dom/#dom-node-isequalnode it
seems likely this is going to be very hard to test. Some clear guidance
from implementers on what they are planning to do would be helpful. For
example how is MarkLogic dealing with XML and HTML literals? Given they
already have an XPath 3 implementation.
