Hi Christian --

I was after a better, or at least less convoluted, way to add the UID attribute nodes. Your code snippet works in place, and faster; thank you!

If anyone happens to have a good general case structure-but-not-position document compare algorithm lying around, I'd be delighted to hear about it.

(It can't be just XSD because there's a pile of WSDL documents, too. And who knows what in the future.)

Thanks!

Your query could probably be shortened as follows:

let $new := db:open($newName) update {
.//* ! (insert node attribute UID { generate-id() } into .)
}
...

It does the same as your original query. But maybe you were asking for
a better solution to compare documents against each other?
