well even knowing what object has changed would be an improvement

i guess he meant this kinda:
<mesh>
2#$KBRT (a blender binary dump here)
</mesh>

instead of:
<mesh>
<vertex x=1 y =2 z=3>
...
</mesh>

so the size hit would not be bad?

and in the diff you could e.g. see that just one certain meshdata changed?
