1) Diff error should be fixed now.
2) This is complicated. You cannot review revision without knowing the templates/images used in it, which even with the page in edit mode and a diff is not enough. Just parsing it and pulling it from there can review vandalism to templates/images. Doesn't seem that bad to have to review after editing, since when you edit a page, it refreshes back to the page, which has the tag and diff link to the last reviewed version. This is for the default UI...indeed the other one is more annoying about this. Perhaps the simply UI should be for anons only?
3) Again, the main UI is easier for this. It has the "editable" link in the tag that goes to the page in edit mode. It's hard to fit that into the simple UI. On top of that, it would be confusing, as some reviewed pages would be directly editable and some wouldn't (we already have protection to confuse people to), they may not get the "if it's the top version" rule.
Optional stuff:
1) See 2) above, same reasons apply.
2) This might be useful, but it's getting kind of complicated and more confusing to new users. It complicates the "override with latest, best, stable revision" rule. Maybe something to think about later.

I'm trying out FlaggedRevs to see how far we are from deployment. I'm seeing the following issues right now (local install, default configuration):
- Diffs that are not to the current revision point to the wrong
version. (i.e. the review panel at the bottom will tag the current revision, even if neither of the two revs are current).
- Edits by users who can review should not need to be reviewed at
least at the basic level; is there any way to configure this? It seems pointless to flag edits by trusted users as being in need for vandalism review.
- When the last sighted version and the current version are identical,
anon users (if so configured) still have to click through to the "current" (identical) version to edit. This seems an unnecessary hoop to jump through.
These seem like core issues to me. In addition, some wishlist items:
- In the original specs we suggested that users can approve unreviewed
changes with a collapsible diff + checkbox on the actual edit page when editing an unreviewed version; this still seems like a very simple way to integrate review into normal editing workflow.
- Switching the default view for all non-registered visitors would be
a very radical thing to do when we haven't figured out yet how scalable the system is. Changes might end up being unreviewed for weeks as a result, rendering articles about current events unusable and making it much harder for new users to discover the site. It seems more sensible to change the default view on a per-page basis for some highly problematic pages which are currently semi-protected, and to gradually increase the number of pages that are in this mode.
I'll try to come up with some more feedback regarding the UI.
