(I've seen you on another couple of mailing lists, so I know you're a good
bit technical...)

I'd extract the relevant Splits via XSLT, though not to XML .. just
line-oriented plain text.  Probably something like:

    Split1GUID Split1Date Split1Desc Split1Acct Split1Amt
    Split2GUID Split2Date Split2Desc Split2Acct Split2Amt

Then, /usr/bin/sort it so the splits are ordered by guid.  Then do the
line-oriented diff.

Something like...

    <xsl:output method="text"/>
    <xsl:template match="//trn:split[split:reconciled-state='y']">
      <xsl:value-of select="./split:id/text()"/><xsl:text> </xsl:text>
      <xsl:value-of select="./split:memo/text()"/><xsl:text> </xsl:text>
      <!-- ... -->
    </xsl:template>

Should do the trick, I think.
