I thought this could be useful to extend the wiki

of doing things to images, especially SVGs. The history

put the two images on two different layers, one obscuring
the other, and a simple button would allow (ideally through
javascript) to swap the two quickly. Of course a standard
diff would then be available to inspect the differences in the
actual code if the image in question is SVG.
What do you think?
I think it sounds like a good idea, and likely very easily doable.
On a related note; I was recently poking the image reversion
interface, and (as anyone who read the code will see), I originally
planned to show the two revisions side-by-side to allow for
comparison. The reason I didn't do this at the time is that I couldn't
find an effective way to quickly transform an old version of a file
(needed for things like SVG, etc.), and I couldn't get hold of Tim
Starling to pester him, so I left it commented out, more or less.
