idsplit v0.0.1

Split some HTML into a map from ids (when present) to the the HTML associated with that id. When nested, replace the element with a reference, so there's no redundancy in the map.

This makes it fast (linear time) and straightforward to find changes to an HTML document, as long as:

1. ids are fairly stable, and
2. sections of the document without ids are fairly small.

When those assumptions are violated, this wont be very efficient, since it will consider very large sections of the document changed.

Specifically:

• for each update to the document
  • run idsplit() on it
  • run idsplit.changes() to compare to previous split output
  • The "update" field of the changes will be a list of the ids of the elements to replace
