Hi, this looks nice - for developers.
However, the version comparison interface is also used by users. Showing the diff using wiki syntax makes it pretty much not-understandable to users that only use the WYSIWYG editor. They're going to feel lost if they look at this page. I'm feeling a bit lost looking at it myself, even though I'm no stranger to writing pages and XWiki applications. To me, this is the ideal interface for an advanced user that uses XWiki as an application development tool. But for an user using XWiki to create content, it looks complex and not visual enough. A first solution could be to show a plain text version of the diff of the content of the page only, with the option to turn on syntax diff. Long story short: the current diff interface needs to be overhauled. I'm +1 to implement this new version over what we currently have. However, it's not the right solution for casual users.
