The expected result in complex-deletes-q1 begins with:

blank line
blank line
<?a-pi pi-1?>
blank line
<far-north> text-1A

and ends with:

</far-north>
<!-- Comment-6 -->
<?a-pi pi-6?>
<!-- Comment-7 -->


The document node corresponding to TopMany.xml should not have any text nodes outside of its root element, and so I expect the result to start with:

<?a-pi pi-1?><far-north> text-1A

and end with:

</far-north><!-- Comment-6 --><?a-pi pi-6?><!-- Comment-7 -->

The same issue exists with complex-deletes-q2. I expect the result to start with:

<!-- Comment-1 --><?a-pi pi-1?><!-- Comment-2 --><far-north> text-1A

and end with:

</far-north><?a-pi pi-6?>


These differences are significant because both of these test cases use the Fragment comparator. Changing them to use the XML comparator will fix the problem, as would changing the expected results as I've indicated. I'd suggest the former channge.
