In august of 2006 a question was asked about using XmlBeans for a schema aware comparison of two XmlObjects. Has any progress been made on this capability since then? How hard is it to implement in XmlBeans? In your response to the question you mentioned that XmlBeans has the foundation for this code already implemented. Where can I find out more information so that I can decide if I want to try to add this capability to XmlBeans?
