Rob, what exactly is a 'full old version', how many does MediaWiki maintain, and how far back do they go?
Platonides, where is the "advanced watchlist" documented?
Frederik, that looks very close to what I am looking for, except that the inputs would be the current version vs. an older version (possibly selected by date) and the markup would be introduced into the normal MediaWiki page output (under control of the user). That would allow me to very quickly home in on any changes in the page. Thanks everyone! Norbert

There's an advanced watchlist feature which you might use. You get on the history page "updated since my last visit" next to those revisions (you must see the history page before the article page). You could then diff them.
