      <p><b>saxon:has-same-nodes($nodes-1 as node()*, $nodes-2 as node()*) ==&gt; xs:boolean</b></p>
      <p>This function returns a boolean that is true if and only if $nodes-1 and $nodes-2 contain the same
sequence of nodes in the same order. Nodes are compared by identity, not by content.
 Note this is quite different from the "=" operator, which tests
 whether there is a pair of nodes with the same string-value, and the deep-equal() function, which compares
 nodes pairwise but by content.</p>
