For ChangeLogs, which rarely apply if they have any context. The
unidiff format is preferred by XEmacs because it provides the headers
which identify the ChangeLog exactly. I don't think it hurts that all
patches are in the same format.
Not a big deal, but since it's trivial to do, why not?

If you remember how to read them. :-) I only ever see those in patch
.rej files.
