In general, that would bother me having big diffs because of a lot of
reformatting changes.  In this case, the .xml files, I could probably
just ignore it.  It would be obvious why it was happening

You're right that a one time reformatting of the files might be a good
idea.  It kind of pushes everyone to use the same editor?

I'll have to try XML Mind and see if I like it better than what I'm
used to, using SlickEdit.  I'd rather not reformat the ooDialog files
at this time.  The current formatting tells me which areas I have
reviewed completely and which areas I still need to check.

I have no problem with reformatting  the other doc files though.  If I
need to make changes to the other doc, I usually try to keep the same
formatting anyway.  Shouldn't be too hard to match whatever format XML
Mind puts them in.  I'm assuming it is a consistent format.  ;-)
