As noted in the annotated QPL [1],
Any technique is acceptable for keeping changes separate - generally,
you would have to mark changes very clearly for them to be separate. We
don't want to hard-code the idea that the form must be patches.
methods other than patches can satisfy the separate requirement. This
seems to defuse the issue of delta != patch, at least in my mind.
