xdiff

Even disregarding whitespace differences, it's possible to output the 
same data structure in different tag orders.  I've seen one (homegrown) 
application that does not even have a stable output order.

Some people have already worked on tools like these.  A quick google 
revealed http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/, although it seems to be 
rather incomplete.
