[xquery-talk] deep-equal?

Hi all,

i have a question concerning the euality of sequences. Therefore i have 
prepared two documents, which seemed to be identically.

--------------------------------------------------
First:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<webcritics>
	<book id="1">Dunkeltann</book>
	
</webcritics>

Second:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<webcritics>
	<book id="1">Dunkeltann</book>
</webcritics>
---------------------------------------------------

The first document contains a linebreak in the document-element. The 
deep-equal function returns false, although the documents are obviously 
the same (whitespaces should not be included in the compare mechanism, i 
think).

Is this behaviour of the deep-equal function coorect?

Thx
