Yeah, as you figured out, word diff is really about formats that aren't 
line oriented.

Not really correct. While the _current_ way to show word diffs is 
imitating GNU wdiff, the internal data structure does allow for more 
sophisticated output.

Fair enough. I was basing my statement on the output. If somebody would
like to demonstrate how the code can be used to get line-oriented diffs
with highlighting, I would be very happy to eat my words. :)

P.S.: Peff, I hope you're fine with me responding to the first sentence 
only. After all, you know that my attention span is 7.2 seconds.

Heh. I am happy you responded at all. You are very quiet these days. :)
