I'd be interested in joining forces :-) Can you tell me where to start looking if something similar is being worked upon so I can offer to help in possible way?

Well... SVG is XML so you may use any text merge/compare tool (such as diff or WinMerge [1]). This will easily allow detecting differences between documents and/or document versions. I don't know if Batik has a visual comparison tool though - if not, it would be a great extension: creating a diff result of documents and highlight them in a special way within Batik, therefore easily allowing to understand document differences! :-) If no one proposes something related which may already exist, why not joining forces to possibly develop [3] such tool? ;-) In the meantime, Batik has a rasterizer tool [2] which is already used within the framework to (please correct me if I'm wrong!) perform regression tests, that is, to compare the image output of several SVG tests (the test-suite) and detect if code changes have introduced new issues. But this is rather raster image comparison, maybe not quite what you intend...
