Maybe equal?* or equal*? or something?  Or equal/=? or equal=? or
equal?/=

The equal?? is a bit confusing because the SSAX tools already use
the double-questionmark convention for procedures that, when applied
to an argument, return predicate procedures (ie, predicate-makers).
See http://wiki.call-cc.org/egg/sxpath  and search for '??'.
I know SSAX isn't exactly "idiomatic" Scheme or a great example,
but I think theirs is a fine convention.

Cheers,
Peter
