This program takes two XML files containing SVG or RFC documents and creates an HTML file which shows the differences between the two documents.
The RFC Editor is in the process of changing the canonical input format of Internet-Draft and RFC documents. Further information on the process can be found on the RFC Editor at the RFC Editor site.
rfc-xmldiff accepts a pair of XML documents as input and outputs an HTML document.

Uses color to highlight changes. This is the default template.wdiff.html- provides three columns containing the left source files, the XML difference and the right source files. Uses color and strike throughs to highlight changes.
For new template files, the following variables are define:
