Description

The property's data type should be considered when generating a diff. Even though we currently don't allow editing of the data type, it is not guaranteed that it will never change.

We said we didn't want to allow changing the data type ever last we talked about this. I assume we can close this then.

-> putting this as low & enh. Might be WONTFIX. Daniel?

It's valid but low prio. Remember that it's possible to view diffs between different pages (i.e. also between different properties). In that case, I'd want to see the data type in the diff.
