I meant that they will also have some dirty diff situations, just not neccessarily the same ones. We aren't intentionally introducing changes to cause dirty diffs - our code just might not quite match theirs, particularly since we have slightly different features.

To be clear: we don't want to cause dirty diffs either, we apologise for them, and are working to fix them. (VE's dirty diffs are not in the habit of breaking pages though, something that could not always be said for the old visual editor). Please do send examples in to Special:Contact, so that we can track them all down.
