Is your interest is in a specific object. For example, what properties 
changed on the first table.

I can easily compare properties for an object, but, that only deals with 
simple types such as strings and numbers. So, I can inspect an object 
and display the values of all the simple types with the attribute names 
and values. I can then save this in a text file, make a change to the 
object, then check the values again.

First problem is that I am only looking at simple types. Sure, I could 
change my inspection code to attempt to expand attributes that are other 
UNO services, but, I would need to watch for referential loops (like if 
a table refers to the owning document that would then refer to that table).
