If you are an editor which outputs XML, you don't have a
txdelta_stream. You have a series of windows given to you by the
producer. Presumably the producer had a txdelta_stream at some point
(although even that is unclear; if I'm an SVN proxy of some sort, the
producer may not have generated the delta itself, and therefore might
not have every had its hands on a txdelta_stream), but the edit_fns
interface doesn't allow it to pass the stream to the consumer in one
piece.
