Having that was critical for Julian's draft IMO. That was the idea, but it did not come out as well as I wanted: http://labs.apache.org/webarch/http/draft-fielding-http/diffs.html Each part started as rfc2616.xml, so if you follow the changelog with subversion you can see what content is changed. What you can't see is where each deleted section ended up in a different partition, unless you go back to the RFC outline and jump from there. http://labs.apache.org/webarch/http/draft-fielding-http/outline2616.html I considered using the ins/del marks for changes, but that would become unreadable very fast and my focus is on readability (one of the main reasons 2616 had so many errors is that nobody read the submitted document -- all they did was look at the changes doc created by word). I have not tried using the rfcdiff tool yet. Which of the various diff methods do you think would be best? ....Roy
