The RPC sends me "diffs" in an obscure AUTH48 specific format today. That's their "preferred viewing" of my "source material"
[JM] The RPC currently has a manual process (which is ripe for modernization and we're working on it) for creating diffs.
The script that the RPC runs to create side-by-side diffs is rfcdiff [1], which is also used by author-tools.ietf.org and the document History tab on datatracker to provide diffs.
AUTH48 messages usually provide descriptions of the diff files, but the RPC can create a web page on authors.ietf.org that provides more detail until the RPC updates their version control system.
