Comparing dojo.uri.Uri with == can be misleading ... class needs a comparator?

Description

There is at least one place (dojo.xml.htmlUtil.insertCssFile) where Uri objects are compared with == (reference equality) when a 'value' comparison of the objects is intended.

Probably dojo.uri.Uri needs a comparator function.

At least, insertCssFile needs to be modified so it's testing e.g., the toString()values of each object. Also, we should watch out for other places where Uri's are compared with ==.

Re: severity, having a comparator (or not) in Uri is not a big deal, the bug in insertCssFile is potentially worse. Anyway, I left the severity at Normal.

The Url Object should resolve the two URIs and then compare them in a normalised form.

Scott - a real oldie. I don't think this is valid anymore, would you agree?

I believe irrelevant to 0.9
