Hi, Keiron
I had it in mind to achieve exactly this effect; it is tied to my fo:marker
debugging, where I wanted to know exactly which object, not just the type.
I agree, this is restrictive for many purposes. Can I suggest YAS (Yet
Another Switch) that can be passed on the command line when running the
XMLRenderer. This option will alternate between the current functionality
and the one you suggest (and yours would be the default). I think that for a
number of reasons it is useful to keep the "debugging" capability available.
In any case, it would be nice to have a configurable xml diff utility that
can be set up to ignore certain attributes.
