I am not sure about that: maybe it is just because not all diff
programs can deliver unified. That's why I was asking Eli.

Well, context diffs certainly are fine enough for use with "patch", so
there is little reason to post another batch because of that. I was
more asking about a general policy.
I have actually customized `diff-switches' to "-u" myself, and it
would be interesting to hear whether that could cause trouble in any
way when cooperating with other people.
