Re: PROV-ISSUE-501: Data Model Section 2.1.1, example [prov-dm]

Hi Paul,

The prov-dm document points to a diff file:
http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/model/diff.html

However, it's accumulated diffs, not diff snapshot for a single issue.

I would have thought it was obvious that we can always go to the 
Editor's draft or the full diff?
