Caveat: I know practically nothing - technically - about the project
being discussed. I am commenting here as a lay user.
Sometime back while looking at change tracking within OpenDocument
files, I stumbled upon the following two entries.
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Track_changes#Google_Summer_of_Code_2009:_Improve_Writer.27s_compare_function
http://gsoc-tzvetelina.blogspot.in/
In the above blog, the author is talking about paragraphs as a unit and
makes a note of the algorithms he uses to narrow down the paragraphs of
interest. I think in Org's context, outline could (also) be considered
as a unit.
