Interestingly enough, I tried using a custom diff for the first time
earlier today and came to the exact same conclusion (I was diff'ing
photos that were tagged with exif keywords). I suspect a large number of
diff engines will simply want to convert content into a canonical text
format.

I wonder if you could simply use a "diff-filter" attribute that would
clean and smudge in the same way as "filter", except it would only do so
when creating or applying diffs. In most cases, you wouldn't have a
"clean" component (since the conversion to text is lossy).
