[PEPr] Comment on Semantic Web::XML_GRDDL

Daniel O'Connor (http://pear.php.net/user/doconnor) has commented on the proposal for Semantic Web::XML_GRDDL.

Are you talking about the difference in linebreaks and possible whitespace? Or what exactly keeps you from a simple string comparison? Well, it's not just whitespace, line endings and other minor snafu. Cocument A contains <a> <b /> <c /> </a> while document B contains <a> <c /> <b /> </a> In essence, they represent the same information, but aren't the same document. What I'm currently doing is: - Make use of the w3c's python compliance tools (in progress) - Amend test cases for PHP, having manually verified equivalence ... which seems to have resolved my problem; but may be Bad Testing Karma.
