I understand your enthusiasm for creating your own keyframing software
but it might interest you to know that someone beat you to it. It might
also prove interesting for you just to experiment with it to see how
someone else went about solving the different operations involved with
decoding the changed portions of the scenefiles. I believe I read where
Ken (the author of the utility - not me) will send the source for his
utility to those who ask for it and you may gain some insight from that
as well.
