Thanks, that looks promising.

XMLUnit is *very* useful. For example here is a typical assertion error:
[different] Expected attribute value '1500' but was '150' - comparing 
<HotspotModelItem height="1500"...> at 
/PageItem[1]/HotspotModelItem[1]/@height to <HotspotModelItem 
height="150"...> at /PageItem[1]/HotspotModelItem[1]/@height

Notice how it shows you exactly the error including XPath expressions to 
the node containing the error!

In Jython I use unittest, not JUnit, so instead of subclassing 
XMLTestCase I call the static methods of XLMAssert from my test cases.
