I did not receive Jun's document in my email, so I apologize for not having read it before our meeting. Here are my thoughts as discussed at today's meeting.
1) Use the RDF approach. CDL test documents should be specified as pairs. Pre and post parsing. Each of our DOM/XOM engines can spit out the final results of parsing as a CDL.
2) I don't think it is worth the time to create an automated "equivalence" tester for comparing the CDL provided in the test case output with the output of our own parser. We should be able to spot check results for compliance easily enough. Just my opinion. Document equivalence is more of an XML problem than a CDL one.
Also, xmlUnit http://xmlunit.sourceforge.net/ has both java and .net implementations.
