> Question: how do you recommend reporting differences between two <row> element sequences?

First question - is this positional? that is, you always want to compare
row in position 1 to row in position 1?

Second question - are there insignificant differences, like the order of
the children of row?

The trivial answers for comparison are "use deep-equal on successively
smaller parts of the tree" and "hash a serialization of successively
smaller parts of the tree" but it's not clear to me what you're actually
trying to do.
