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. bob wyman [1] http://bobwyman.pubsub.com/main/2004/09/using_rfc3229_w.html
