A brilliant idea. Close inspection of a changeset should also be able to better find out whether the changeset actually applies to a certain area or whether it just has a huge bounding box. This is by the way, just to re-iterate my mantra, not something that for whatever strategical reason needs to be done on the main server(s). It can be done by anyone running a current mirror. We could even have multiple tools like these, which could shine a light on different aspects of editing and employ (and try out) various algorithms of highlighting changes.
