Xmldiff is a utility for extracting differences between two xml files. It
returns a set of primitives to apply on source tree to obtain the destination
tree.

The implementation is based on `Change detection in hierarchically structured
information`, by S. Chawathe, A. Rajaraman, H. Garcia-Molina and J. Widom,
Stanford University, 1996
