So you want a little loop that says "if this comment equals this
comment, then change it..."?  You could still do such a thing, just
write your own comparison logic. 
comment1.getText().equals(comment2.getText()) should do it for this
simple case.  For elements you could write your own cutsom logic that
compared local names, name and namespace, name/namespace/namespacemap,
or whatever.

Cool.  :-)
