Re: Xml diff module - feedback needed

Thanks Richard, 

I understand the licence constraint and it's clearly a good think that sucj
a lib will be into trunk. 

"Problems" I have with this lib is that I don't find docs on witch kind of
diff do daisyDiff. Clearly it's work on text() modification, but my main
requirement is :
I have to distinguish new nodes and nodes that have move (from position 2
to 5 for example - idea of the xmlunit's similar function).

Have you informations about that ? If no, I will go to dress my swimsuit
and dive into daisyDiff lib ! :)
