I see a few in the diff.  When a tag is opened, the indent level is 
increased.  In some long tags like ulink, this suprises people:

+         choice of two ports.  If you install <filename
+         role="package">textproc/docproj-nojadetex</filename>, you

The start of the second line is still inside the <filename> tag, so it 
should be indented:

+         choice of two ports.  If you install <filename
+           role="package">textproc/docproj-nojadetex</filename>, you

The closing tag is on the second line, so the indent goes back a level 
on the next line (not shown).

The patch fails for me on tools/chapter.xml at line 0.

A quick first glance would make me suggest using igor -R | less -RS. 
This shows the color highlights, which most people prefer.  The plain 
ASCII alternate can be mentioned.

I'll look at it in more depth later.

And thanks to you, also!
