Summary: XMLUnit say indentical xmls are different

Initial Comment:
Consider the 2 attached xmls :

They are same but for whitespaces but following code says they are different.

    public static boolean compareFiles(File f1, File f2) throws Exception {
        DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document d1 = builder.parse(f1);

        DocumentBuilder builder1 = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document d2 = builder1.parse(f2);

        Diff xmlDiff = XMLUnit.compareXML(d1, d2);
        debug("XML Diff :: " + xmlDiff.toString());
        return xmlDiff.identical() || xmlDiff.similar();
    }


The debug diff printed out is :

XML Diff :: org.custommonkey.xmlunit.Diff
[different] Expected number of child nodes '8' but was '9' - comparing <hierarchy...> at /hierarchy[1] to <hierarchy...> at /hierarchy[1]
