	I don't think it is fair to tie RFC3229 to VCDIFF. The key
contribution of RFC3229 is the definition of the "instance-manipulation"
method and VCDIFF is only one, experimentally registered, method for doing
instance-manipulation. Other methods can be developed, registered, etc. For
instance, once we've got a bit more history with the "feed" IM method[1]
that I've defined for RSS, Atom, etc., I expect to draft an ID and get it
registered.
