I've run into an age-old issue but I don’t see any off-the-shelf solutions for.

 

Suppose I have 2 XML documents I want to compare (not diff, just give me yes/no are they equivalent).

This is pretty simple to do even with things like ignoring whitespace options etc.  Many tools out there, including one I wrote

( http://www.xmlsh.org/CommandXcmp)

 

Now here's the twist …

 

Suppose I want to compare for XSD  data model equivalence, not XDM  equivalence ?

 

Example.

 

<number>1.0</number>

vs.

<number>1</number>

 

Without type annotation these are different.
But if I declare the type for number to  be xs:double

they should compare equal.
