I noticed that your list doesn't include "add a DOM equality operator". That seems potentially simpler to implement than canonical XML serialization, and like a useful thing to have in any case. Would it make sense as an option?
Time machine! Stéphane Wirtel just posted a basic semantic comparison between two streams.¹ Presumably, there would need to be a range of options for specifying what constitutes equivalence but this is a nice start.
