Sorry for the slow slow slow sloooow response.

I think diffs are a useful thing to have, but I'm not quite sure what the goal
here is - what is the advantage of using rvdiffto instead of getting both
revisions and comparing them with a python diff function?

I can see the use case for, for instance, an antivandalism bot, but I'm not
quite sure how you would use it with this.

Then on the implementation - I can imagine it makes sense to store diffs for a
certain revision, but I'd expect, for instance, a dict with revid's such that

page, revid=10001
diffs = \{10000: &lt;diff object between 10000 and 10001&gt;, 9000: &lt;diff
object between 9000 and 10001&gt;\}, and storing e.g. revision.prev = 10000.
