Hi,

this is coping with much more than xml diff, but you can check Lars

>> What's the best way to display the differences.

> Well, it rather depends on what you want to do. There are two use cases

> (a) Creating a version of a narrative document (like the XSLT 2.0 spec) in
> which changes since the previous version are highlighted: see

>
> I think Norm's tool was produced with this kind of application in mind
> (though in the XSLT spec, I maintain the change markup by hand).
>
> (b) Comparison of test results with reference results to find cases where
> the results are different. Here I find that the Stylus Studio differencing
> tool works pretty well for me: it gives you the tree views of both
> documents
> side-by-side, allows you to view all nodes or only those that differ or
> only
> those that are the same, and to drill down into either tree to see the
> detail of the differences.
