Research direction

The issue does not identify any files, tests, or entry points in XmlNotepad; begin by locating the XML comparison functionality and how namespace URIs are handled. Done means defining and implementing comparison behavior that ignores the requested URI while preserving the other shown attributes, with coverage for the example XML.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi,

When comparing two xml files, how can we ignore the URI?

Thanks in advance!
