Well, doing diff-style things will never work for anythign except simple
text objects.
The standard (?!) way to handle this is to store two copies of the
object and then manaualy sort it out. It's certainly the safest
approach...

This is an interesting, and I'm sure common, variation on the problem.
I'm not sure how Notes handles this but wouldn't it be amazing if Zoep
could do it properly... ;-)
