Acquire Modifications

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.
