I'm wondering if nu.xom.DocType should have an equals() method that checks the Public ID and/or the System ID.

No. The semantics for equals() in all XOM node classes is strict equality, and various other parts of the API depend on this. However, check out nu.xom.tests.XOMTestCase and you may find a method that does what you need. Be warned, I'm still experimenting with the exact API and behavior for that class.
