Reopening this; I understand that providing machine-readable diffs is not
feasible for performance reasons. However, providing an API query that outputs
the HTML diffs (already generated by MediaWiki) suitably wrapped would not, as
suggested above, be merely redundant to an existing UI query. It is something
that would be useful for two key reasons:
* Machine-readable output in the event of errors, something that the UI does
not always, or even usually, provide
* It would be relatively simple to implement an API query format that, unlike
the UI, could return several diffs in the same request. This would make
fetching many diffs easier on the servers, something that is done in the
process of dealing with vandalism for example.
