Having recently invested a large amount of work in the construction and editing of legal documents as part of an expert-witness gig working for Uncle Sam, I have opinions. Yes, the legal profession would benefit immensely from a diffing capability that worked as well as what developers have relied on for decades. Yes, one reason the developer tools are so slick is lines-of-text semantics.
Unfortunately the legal profession seems locked in to MS Office.
