Re: XPath (and other W3C drafts)

Hello Michael,

I very much agree that change marks based on authored markup would be the best
solution. For a very technical audience I am nevertheless interested in
process (b), at the XML level. I am well aware of the complexity of a Longest
Common String algorithm combined with inserted/deleted/moved elements plus
constraints based on id attributes... Is the process (b) you mentioned an open
resource?

Thanks a lot,

- Michael M|ller-Hillebrand
