As I see it, you could first export it as barely as possible, but
because changes are made only afterward, to the exported version, it
shouldn't make much difference. Also, as mentioned, the ediff3 method
with the ancestor file could be used to hide common changes ('$$')
brought about by the reverse conversion, for more accuracy.

I meant the 'help-echo' of the 'highlight'ed regions in the buffer. Also
accessible by C-h . (display-local-help) with point placed there.

Currently 'deletion' comments are removed, but I'm working on an
alternative that preserves that as well.

Regards,
James
