I try to mention when something is nonstandard (if I'm aware of that), but I may miss something. Corrections are welcome.

I looked at XML diff tools a few months ago, and found them rather less general than diff is for text files. If someone knows of a really good xmldiff tool, I'd be interested in hearing about it. It seems like a lot of xml problems, including diff'ing, could be solved by having a find(1) equivalent for xml that lists the document with prior portions in the hierarchy repeated. Then it would seem that traditional diff might work pretty well on xml. But is that patented?
