Maybe give a concrete example. What I see is that > whitespace > is either ignored everywhere or it is not ignored at all (toggle this with > `##'). you are confusing different features. take a commented paragraph with a few long lines, save it to a. fill it. save it to b. now do diff mode on it and also ediff on it. you should notice that diff mode correctly notices tht the only non-whitgespaceish ifference is the comment prefix. ediff thinks words changed.
