Kai, this is slightly better, but please see below:
I try to be more exact in my definition:
- two nodes 'relation' are different, if they have the same value in
relation/Attribute[(_at_)Name='FindNumber']/Value but the text value of both
node's children at all is different.
I get the part about 2 <relation> elements being comparable if the Value of
both contain the same text. However, do you really mean to compare just the
"text value" of their descendent nodes to determine changes? I interpret
"text value" to mean only those descendent nodes that are text() nodes, and
I suspect you mean something else. Also, does this mean your "unit of
difference" is the <relation> element, and it's suffucient to stop
"differencing" at that level? (Meaning, if a relation element is deemed to
be "added", it and contained nodes will be shown, with no effort to
determine which contained nodes changed.)
Using your samples below, would you provide a "result document" that you're
after? Actually seeing a result, with annotations if necessary, would help
in making this more concrete.
