No.  I look at SVG, ODF text, ODF spreadsheet, etc as things with 
completely different user interfaces.

And likewise, the merge _helper_, the very thing the user will get to see, 
must have different user interfaces.

And I see much more potential for this project to fail in those different 
user interfaces than something as _trivial_ (in relation) as XML merging.

Ciao,
