[erlang-questions] XML diff

[Edmond Begumisa]

Also note that there is a proposed standard (RFC 5261) that uses XPath for
defining XML patches...

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5261

Nokia have an open-source C implementation that does both diff and patch.
You could look at that for inspiration...
