--- Comment #4 from gprocida at google dot com ---
I've rechecked the a.xml b.xml case with latest upstream master
(cfd81dec10b26759b08c60c59b0d32f905d9913f).

I get similarly bad output with plain abidiff and similarly good output with
abidiff --leaf-changes-only.

Note

We are now post-processing all abidw-generated XML for more recent Android
kernels with a utility that tidies the XML in various ways, mostly so that XML
diffs are more predictable.

The tidied XML has no harmful diffs with or without --leaf-changes-only. I'm
not sure which of the various passes contributed to this, but I can dig further
if that's of interest.

We will likely no longer spot or report issues that go away after XML tidying.
