I remember that these notifications used to come in the form of "here 
are the parts that we changed." That still happens some of the time, but 
increasingly you see them just saying, "here's the new agreement" where 
the specific changes are buried in a 5 page agreement, or they give you 
6 or 7 new paragraphs that sound identical to the original agreement, 
but apparently have a few key words altered in them somewhere. 

Change of terms notices from PayPal are like this too. They just point 
to a new agreement. 

Are we going to need to start using diff on our legal contracts?
