There's no doubt that we could get *better* results with the addition
of manual effort.  But even htmldiff as it stands today produces
*usable* results (I tried it on a couple of versions of the COPY
reference page).  Given that we've not offered something like this
at all before, I think it's silly to put in a lot of up-front effort
in advance of seeing what the demand really is.

In any case, I concur with the other committers that there is simply
no way we're going to accept manual change markup as an additional
expectation for documentation commits.  It's hard enough already.
