Possible to compare Word 2007 XML documents?

Question

I am trying to compare two word 2007 XML documents (.doc) using XMLUnit but I keep getting an assertion fail on the CDATA fields:
org.custommonkey.xmlunit.Diff [different] Expected text value '28/05/2009 22.50' but was '27/05/2009 15.02'This are the corresponding parts of the word xml files that differ:
     <w:t><![CDATA[28/05/2009 22.50]]></w:t>
<w:t><![CDATA[27/05/2009 15.02]]></w:t>
I have tried to enable:
    XMLUnit.setIgnoreDiffBetweenTextAndCDATA(true);But it still treats the sections as differences. When I compare the two files I have tried:
// test 1
    InputSource xml1 = new InputSource("c:\\test\\actual.xml");
    InputSource xml2 = new InputSource("c:\\test\\expected.xml");
    Diff myDiff = new Diff(xml1, xml2);
     myDiff.overrideElementQualifier(new RecursiveElementNameAndTextQualifier() );
     assertXMLEqual("Not similar", myDiff, true);
// test 2
    assertXMLEqual(expectedOutPutFileAsString, actualOutPutFileAsString);But the assertion fails in both cases.
Is it even possible to compare two word 2007 files like this?

Telling someone that they can convert a Powerpoint to PDF and send that to their phone is NOT a "third party hack."
Which BTW is what you want to do because it will preserve all the pagination, orientation, resolution, etc, all in one nice tidy file. And, (if you email it to your phone through an IMAP enabled mail server like GMail) you can then forward the PDF file directly from the iPhone to someone else.
