Isn't it possible to decide the equivalence of deterministic pushdown automata? Wouldn't DPDAs be considered more powerful than FSMs due to the addition of a stack?

Wikipedia [1] shows there's a paper called "The equivalence problem for deterministic pushdown automata is decidable" that won the Gödel Prize is 2002. I haven't read the paper nor do I currently have access to it though.
