I want to check if all the zzz nodes which exist over the
XML tree (XPath: //zzz) are equal to all the zzz nodes
with the absolute path (XPath: /aaa/bbb/zzz).

In other words I need something like a XPath function "equal()"
which returns true if equal("//zzz","/aaa/bb/zzz")
is equal or false otherwise.
As far as I know there is no such method like equal().

How could I write such a XPath expression?

Alternatively I could imagine zhat the equivalence could
be determined by the number of nodes in both specifications
rather than the nodes themselve.

Hi Matt,
you can use this XPath 2.0 query: //zzz except /aaa/bbb/zzz

Hope this helps,
Alberto
