re: #214 Fozzie Bear

A git-like difference evaluator would only note that a reference to an image was added. It wouldn’t try to extract any meaning from it. Similarly, if a line was deleted, it would only note the deletion of X number of lines starting at line number Y.

I wasn’t implying that you could extract meaning from it directly, just that it would provide a compact and efficient way to track changes over time without losing any of the “original” information (i.e., the state of the document at the point in time you started tracking it.)

But you have no idea whether changes were significant or not. And if anyone wanted to spoof it, it’d be incredibly easy. And depending on the way a webpage was set up, it could have more or fewer changes on it by that alone.

I’m really not trying to dissuade you; I could be wrong. I’m not an expert. I’m just offering honest criticism. It’s a very intriguing idea but I think it runs into the natural language problem.
