Hi,

Just a random idea that I haven't worked out in detail but has anyone heard of diff for DOM tress (as opposed to line based documents)?

It would seem that a couple of simple operations could describe quite complex changes to DOM based pages. I'm thinking of things like:

ADDED <NODE> <VALUE>
REMOVED <NODE>
MODIFIED <NODE> <LINE-DIFFS>
MOVED <NODE> <NODE>

Any comments?

Best,
  Shadi
