These nodes are specifically cleaned BEFORE the diff runs so that they do not 
affect the diff process.

See the file

However daisydiff only detects VISIBLE html changes. Even if you had a way to 
detect Javascript or Meta changes how are you supposed to show them to the user?

Especially Meta tags are non-visible by definition.

If you are interested in HTML as structure only then use XMLunit or another 
library mentioned in https://code.google.com/p/daisydiff/wiki/Software

You also try to remove the cleaner xsl so that this nodes take part in the diff 
process. But I am not sure if that helps in any way.
