Which is kind of a shame, as a good binary diff is vastly smaller than downloading the entire app.
But I'm sure implementing diff support would be harder than on Windows, because Mac apps are directory trees, not single files. So the patch process would have to use one diff per file and apply them recursively. Not rocket science, but a wee bit tricky. (Looks like Sparkle isn't open source, unfortunately.)
