Actually due to the problem of handling the deletions (you can't point into 
something that doesnot exist anymore) I prefer to get back as a result the part 
of the file that have changed (inserted or deleted). Do you believe that this 
is doable or not ?

I'd appriciate you advices because I'm currently coding for my PhD and I need 
to take a decision as soon as possible. Your expertise would be helpful.
Thanx in advance.

Do you actually want to return the data that was modified or just a 
list of keys to modified documents?

XMLObjects were cut out of 1.1.
