Good to hear the tests worked.  That bodes well.

Unfortunately this wont work..  There's no guarantee of ordering during 
save. It's quite possible that a Load/Save sequence (without any other 
changes to the
data) will NOT necessarily produce the exact same bit-for-bit version of the
datafile.  The objects could have a different order within the XML 
document. So, this kind of comparison can't be done (easily).
