Is this the right interpretation? You have two schemata, written to
different standards. You have a set of documents. Your equality comparison
is to say the two schemata are equal, for the given set of documents, iff
each schema validates each document in the set with the same result as the
other schema. And you are not talking about being able to determine
equivalence over an arbitrary set of input documents?
