[[
2.15 Equivalence of Components

* For values of a simple type (see 2.14 XML Schema 1.0 Simple Types Used in the
Component Model), this means that they contain the exact same values. For
instance, two string values are equivalent if they contain the same sequence of
Unicode characters, as described in [Character Model for the WWW]
]]

Should we not be talking about value-space equivalence rather than strict
lexical-space equivalent? For instance, “1” and “true” would not be equivalent
according to this definition, whereas they would according to the XML Infoset.
