using object identity as a substitute for isSameNode is bad idea

The thing is that with "==" xalan can not be used with DOM implementations which
do not comply.  This is a big issue, especially with Java 1.4 comming with xalan
integrated right in rt.jar. Maybe xalan should provide ability to subclass
DOM2DTM class to make it possible to adjust it's behaviour? Or even better to
provide version of DOMSource() constructor which accept some sort of comparator
object? 
 Using reflection to detect the fact that isSameNode is implemented is not a bad
idea.  It could be done once during first invocation so performance impact could
be minimal. And what about Node.isSupported()?  Could it be used to detect the
fact that isSameNode implemented?
