Interesting thought.
As an alternative to processing the schema, you might want to see if you
can do something with the XSLT/XPath id() function
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#function-id)... but you might have to play with
Xalan's configuration in order to make that schema-aware.
I presume you're aware of http://alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/xmldiffmerge
