 okay, to talk about semantic equivalence in general is delicate. In our case we have the assumption that if repeteable elements occurs, the order is not relevant. We just want to check the presence of data on the same level. At the moment we have a stylesheet which orders repeatable elements (can be of a complex type) by, for example, the content of the first sub-element. When we do this with the two input documents we can compare the two output documents by a string comparison (apart from possible whitespaces). Maybe there is a better solution?
