CoFi acquires user
modifications by comparing the local proxy's document version to the
application's version. Ideally, CoFi would use the application's
exported API to acquire any user modifications. When such
functionality is not provided by the application's API, CoFi instructs
the application to save a temporal version of the document in the
local file system. CoFi then parses the temporary document and
compares it to the local proxy version.
