 The "Diff" capability in Maestro is very powerful - but also slightly
 confusing on a couple of elements.

 1) XML Encoding
 When opening a resource e.g. .LayerDefinition in XML mode I see the first
 line as:
   <?xml version="1.0"?>

 If I then edit the XML and use the Diff function it highlights the first
 line as red and says that the actual source was
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 Implying the XML editor is stripping the encoding before showing the text
 XML and firing a dirty state

 2) Whitespace
 If I have a vector .LayerDefinition resource with a filter, and add a
 space at the end of the filter when opened in XML mode then I would expect
 that line to be highlighted as different in the Diff viewer.  It is not.

 Neither element is major here, just some finesse if possible.
