I think a large number of users, especially early users, will use
Conglomerate for documentation for free software. Almost all that's
maintained in CVS. Also, CVS would be a good start for defining an
interface that could later be used for CMS systems, etc.

Meld is very nice, I wonder if it could be made XML-aware? Diffing the
raw XML is not the most friendly way to look at diffs, I think. If Meld
could be made XML-aware and perhaps turned into a library or something,
so Conglomerate could invoke it/use it as a widget/dialog window to
display diffs, that would absolutely rule.
