I was wondering if it possible to produce a [X]HTML diff using XSLT
1.0.

Basically I want as output an [X]HTML file with strike through in
red =
for anything deleted from a file and in red for anything added.

Does anything like this already exist, if not how would I go about =
programming it in XSL ?

I am monitoring this question since I hoped to get some pointers to XML diff tools, that can either create a composite XML with some additional markup to show the differences (inserts, changes, deletions) or create modified versions of the compared document to show the changes.

I guess that using XSLT would be the wrong tool for a full-fledged
diff solution (especially the Longest Common Substring algorithm), but
XSLT would be great to process a diff result in certain ways.

Thanks,
