Ah, thanks, I missed that!  From their website:
    DeltaXML DocBook Compare highlights changes between
    any two docbook files. Docbook Compare performs a
    detailed comparison between the two files and
    automatically adds revision flags to highlight added,
    deleted or changed text. Changes to individual table
    cells are clearly identified.
But what a price :-(: $1500/year for a site license!  (Which is the 
cheapest license they have; the only other choice is a multiple site 
license.)
