I run into this area of need constantly. More generally:
Comparitor for XML at the InfoSet level
Comparitor for HTML
Comparitor for XHTML at the level that UA looks/acts different
Comparitor for XML where scope of namespace decls on the test
   result may be equal to or broader than corresponding scope
   on the reference result (i.e., decl is in effect when needed)

Since these tools get to the heart of conformance, they need to be
open-source, vendor-neutral, and beyond reproach.
