I believe that's just work-in-progress. I think you can assume that structural equality would be defined as being namespace-sensitive and prefix-insensitive for namespaced nodes, since that's the semantically meaningful view of the document. For non-namespaced nodes. For non-namespaced nodes, I'd presume the nodename would be used; we said that localname was null for those so there isn't much alternative. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
