             Summary: Implementation for XML DOM documents, a new method 'isEqualNodeWithQName' similar to 'isEqualNode' to compare two XML element nodes
                 Key: XERCESJ-1762
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1762
             Project: Xerces2-J
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: DOM (Level 3 Core)
    Affects Versions: 2.12.2
            Reporter: Mukul Gandhi
            Assignee: Mukul Gandhi
             Fix For: 2.12.3


There's a need for XalanJ's XPath 3.1 fn:deep-equal's method implementation, to have a XercesJ's java class org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl provide a new method (with name like 'isEqualNodeWithQName'), that can check equality of two XML element nodes only on following criteria : localName and namespaceUri.

The XML DOM standard node comparison method 'isEqualNode' does few extra checks wrt node's name (majorly, that XML node's nodeName i.e prefix:localName and also prefix have to be same for two equal XML element nodes) that is not suitable for what XPath 3.1 fn:deep-equal method requires.
