That's why of us have proposed a more diff friendly format, like YAML or
JSON and that's why I use STON for Grafoscopio. Changing order in
siblings or children is represented relatively easy with STON. I found
this XML format and diff gratuitously human unfriendly despite of being
a standard. I think that maybe a friendlier human/diff format is a
worthy exploration to deal with this diff issues.
