Mulit-diff view of histories

Ahem: I dont do the bugzilla thing, so Ill just
file this here --a feature request I suppose
(more just an idea) and people stick it where
they like.

Multi-diff-view history proposal

Alternate view of article histories as showing
multiple diffs in a single page. Unlike current
history, multi-diff will show only the actual edited
paragraph without any surrounding context (to save
space). For obvious reasons I think this will make it
easier to track sneaky vandalism, and perhaps even
help bring more oversight to revert warring.

Also unlike the current diff view, each version will
contain article and edit links to each version.
Scolling down will scroll through the history, showing
the relevant (changed) material for an arbitrary
number of back-edits.

Views can be based on a "last 10", "last 20", etc.
approach, and when in a historical diff version, a
"prev 10" "prev 20", "later 10", "later 20". Sorting
on the basis of minor edits, and even diff size might
also be possible.
