[XML-SIG] DOM Nodes: Identity test

What is the "official" way to check if a two DOM Node objects are the same?

The PyDOM implementation, e.g. in the Element.get_parentNode() method, always 
returns a "fresh" Node object encapsulating the real data in a _nodeData object 
(right?), so when I do get_parentNode() twice on the same node, I get two 
different Node objects. Am I supposed to compare the _node members?

I don't think I'm talking about an ID attribute problem here.
