Description

On certain paths, JcrNode equals and hashcode perform copies of the their domElement, manipulate them and use them for equals/hashCode computations, e.g.

			Element domElementCopy = domElement.copy();
			domElementCopy.clearChildren();
			Element otherDomElementCopy = other.domElement.copy();
			otherDomElementCopy.clearChildren();
			return domElementCopy.toString().equals(otherDomElementCopy.toString());

This has the potential to be quite expensive and should be corrected
