 I try to be more exact in my definition: - two nodes 'relation' are different, if they have the same value in relation/Attribute[@Name='FindNumber']/Value but the text value of both node's children at all is different. I get the part about 2 <relation> elements being comparable if the Value of both contain the same text. However, do you really mean to compare just the "text value" of their descendent nodes to determine changes? I interpret "text value" to mean only those descendent nodes that are text() nodes, and I suspect you mean something else. Also, does this mean your "unit of difference" is the <relation> element, and it's suffucient to stop "differencing" at that level? (Meaning, if a relation element is deemed to be "added", it and contained nodes will be shown, with no effort to determine which contained nodes changed.) Using your samples below, would you provide a "result document" that you're after? Actually seeing a result, with annotations if necessary, would help in making this more concrete.
