+ * changes to the DOM and no heavy libraries like ace. It works for any kind of

+ * Because changes are always localised, the diffing is quite easy. We simply
+ * scan in from the start and scan in from the end to isolate the edited range,
+ * then delete everything that was removed & add everything that was added.
+ * This wouldn't work for complex changes, but this function should be called
+ * on keystroke - so the edits will mostly just be single character changes.
+ * Sometimes they'll paste text over other text, but even then the diff
+ * generated by this algorithm is correct.
+ *
+ * This algorithm is O(N). I suspect you could speed it up somehow using regular expressions.
