Is there a way to extract only the differences instead of the entire file 
with differences embedded?

yeah, this would make sense 
maybe it would return the xpaths to the diffs , along with what kind of diff it 
was

I also would like to know how to extract only the differences.

You need to write Java code at the moment to do this. It isn't a feature 
built-in to DaisyDiff

Look at the TagSaxDiffOutput.java or HtmlSaxDiffOutput.java depending 
on the mode you are using. 

An alternative solution would be to look at an algorithm that already 
works like this. 
See 
http://code.google.com/p/fc-xmldiff/ 
http://potiron.loria.fr/projects/jxydiff 
or even XMLUnit

When will it become a feature built-in to DaisyDiff?

Did anyone make any progress after this?

kapelonk,

Could you elaborate how HtmlSaxDiffOutput.java will help with the requirement 
in question?

I've verified the code and added few print statements but unable to see any 
data relevant to the differences but I rather see things like added-diff-1, 
last-diff, etc.

Please advise how we can address this requirement?

Thanks,
Ravi.
