I quickly read over this. It seems to check for strict identity. For
example, two elements are equal (according to this spec), if their
namespaceURI, localName _and_ prefix are equal. I need a more relaxed
interpretation of equal, where the prefix is not considered. In fact, I
need this kind of comparison for the SOAP 1.2 testsuite. I think, it does
not matter if an element is named <env:Envelope> or <soap:Envelope> as
long as env and soap refer to the same namespaceURI.

Cheers, Roman
