Hi, Is there such a tool that is Free Software, or is this just a moot point? Besides that, the only added value over diff is to also notify structural changes. However, XML is supposed to be human readable. If it's displayed as gibberish (which is mostly what one huge line seems) then it's not very different from a binary format with a known structure. A transparent format (which is what xml usually is) becomes not transparent when it is made in such a way that it is much harder to read. Even if it's not defined like that, I think that as a principle the only space aware tags should be the ones with content that _needs_ space awareness. How many gconf tags need it?
