Thanks,
I found this wiki, and they seem to be looking for the same thing as I
http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Projects/CJANXmlDiff

They point towards Diffxml and its output DUL(Delta Update Language) which I

I also found that DUL was submitted as a draft by its author to IETF
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-mouat-xml-patch-00.txt
