you want to generate a special purpose (and _very_

representation of the XML file, rather than just use
the normal text
markup representation.
I "don't want to" generate such a string! It was "the
idea I had in mind" for comparing XML documents. And
my idea resulted in writing the stylesheet I posted. I
wanted to validate my idea with XSL-List members, and
I learnt a lot in the process. My idea is surely not
good as you have explained..
I am thinking, whether "a XML comparison program" is
really useful for real needs? I don't normally see
need for comparing XML documents..
I believe, the things that can be done with XML can
roughly fall in these categories:
- Read XML
- Write XML
- Modify XML (or transform it)
- Transmit XML between different applications/people
- Validate XML with a DTD/Schema
I don't see that comparing XML documents can be a
meaningful activity... Though it may be.. But I am not
aware of any such requirements..
