I believe in the medium-to-long term a plugin architecture for merging 
is imperative.  It's not even different media types, but some *files* 
have specific merging policies.  Think, for example, of pci.ids in the 
Linux kernel tree.

You mean the file that is now removed from the kernel tree?  Sure,
that's a good merge policy :)

*Plonk*... well, the point was that even text files can be structured so 
that application-specific merge rules can be made to apply.  ChangeLogs 
are another good example.
