Eventually we would like to move away from the use of wikitext to preview diffs in Visual Editor. Instead, diffs would be displayed in a WYSIWYG style. Perhaps with color highlighting, perhaps with strikeouts and boldface, perhaps with inserted annotations that look like marks a human editor would use. Parsoid presents a lot of diffs internally: we use these to visualize test results in a number of ways. So it would be nice to prototype a visual diff UI based on Parsoid DOM (HTML5) diffs in Parsoid. If this is successful, it could also be used by Visual Editor (perhaps visual editor would request the diff from Parsoid).
