RE: Required DIFF format [was Re: PATCH Draft]

   Better to start with something known than starting from scratch.
   No known IP claims.
   Range retrieval is a kind of "server patch client".

PATCH focuses on client-patch-server. But there's no reason not
to consider server-patch-client, and consider range retrieval
to be a special case of that.
