No, since per-character instead of per-line granularity is needed.
That is not mutually exclusive. I have done such a thing before, using the standard Linux tool "diff".
MediaWiki ships its own PHP diff implementation. A tremendously faster-performing C++ implementation is available in CVS along with a SWIG interface, module 'wikidiff', which is in use at Wikimedia sites.
Alright, I didn't know that.
