 * selection. This is needed, because selections may contain exactly that node. Therefore, if
 * this node is selected out of a selection the selection is equal to the node itself. 
 * The rule returns lexically equal, it the selection contains a lexically equal node. The same
 * applies for syntactical and semantical equality.
