Is there any reason you don't want to use the regular diff and patch apps?

Yes.

Does it have to be something that is "XML aware" if you like?

I'm writing a "report script" which checks for differences in two XML files and emails them to non-tech people. Just sending them a plain diff of the files simply causes confusion because the don't understand XML.

These are config files and the differences will be minor, but providing a textual diff won't tell them what has changed because the won't understand it.
