XML Diff

Hi,

What I am trying to do is the following:
I have two xml docs:
XML doc 1 (X1):
<foo>
<bar>
barr
</bar>
<par/>
</foo>

XML doc 2 (X2):
<foo>
<bar>
barr
</bar>
</foo>

So, I can use http://search.cpan.org/~khampton/XML-SemanticDiff/ to get
the differences between the two XML docs but what I really want is to
tag the differences in the XML themselves.
So, since X1 has par but X2 doesnt, I want to create a new X1_2 (or add
to the existing) that looks something like
<foo>
<bar>
barr
</bar>
<par flag="diff"/>
</foo>

What I therefore need is to get a reference to each tag that is
different.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

thanks,

dometz
