XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Wolfgang Hoschek <wolfgang.hoschek AT mac.com>]

XOMTestCase.compareChildren() compares two children for "equality".  
Ala XPath, it merges adjacent text nodes before doing so, which is  
fine, but the comparison isn't insensitive to empty text nodes, which  
seems wrong for all intents and purposes. The following test case  
should pass but currently fails:

    public void testEmptyTextComparison() {

        Element expected = new Element("foo");
        Element actual = new Element("foo");

        actual.appendChild(new Text(""));
        assertEquals("Comparison should be insensitive to empty text  
nodes", expected, actual);

        actual.appendChild(new Text(""));
        assertEquals("Comparison should be insensitive to empty text  
nodes", expected, actual);

        actual.appendChild(new Text(""));
        assertEquals("Comparison should be insensitive to empty text  
nodes", expected, actual);

        expected.appendChild(new Text(""));
        assertEquals("Comparison should be insensitive to empty text  
nodes", expected, actual);
    }
