[erlang-questions] Re: Compare XML string

[Dmitry Belyaev]

First of all, what does author want to compare: plain strings or xml 
documents?

If documents (or parts of documents) then what about order of attributes 
and child elements? Does it matter?

<item attr1="value1" attr2="value2"/>
<item attr2="value2" attr1="value1></item>

Sand, do you count them identical?
