Re: [xml-dev] XML Zebra, a path-based tool for generating difffingerprin

["Anthony B. Coates \(XML-Dev\)" <abcoatesecure-xmldev@yahoo.co.uk>]

Indeed.  In those cases, XML Zebra puts the xsi:type name in the path that  
it constructs.  When I talked about the tool ignoring restructurings, I  
was talking in the general case (since most people don't use xsi:type, in  
my experience).  A related point worth noting is that the current  
pre-release 1.0-pre-1 doesn't yet support substitution groups; that is  
planned for the next pre-release.

Cheers, Tony.
