Intentionally top posting:
Thanks, Greg, a very helpful explanation! A question and a comment:
* Is this (or will this) posted on your wiki? If so can you post the URL?
* Somewhat OT, but for the sake of something (completeness) I'd like to also mention word diffs which (1) are often more useful for human readers of text (as opposed to programs), as (2) they show (or try to show) differences by individual word, with markup to indicated added words, deleted words, or changed words (depending on the specific word diff program utilized) (wdiff is one available in *nix). (Some of the programs do not always represent the changes in the best possible way, e.g., sometimes showing, e.g., long portions of text deleted and then re-added when they have only been moved in the document.)
