Is it fair to say deep-equal could mean:
every $i in 1 to max((count(A), count(B))) satisfies A[$i] eq B[$i]
which would then return false, as its only the length check that is
causing it to return true (and thats only there to avoid also checking
every item in B is equal to A)
That works for atomic values (with the exception of NaN) but not for
nodes (my mistake in my last post!). Using XQuery notation:
<a>3</a> eq <b>3</b> is true
deep-equal(<a>3</a>, <b>3</b>) is false
