Well, they can pull 50 or 500 diffs in individual requests if they like
already. :)

Without wikidiff2 present, diff generation is hideously slow, however, making
lots of hits a bit of a danger to begin with. This is why for instance the RSS
feed attempts to avoid doing diffs it thinks might be too big or slow (though
it doesn't do a very good job of this iirc).

In short: I hate diffs, they suck. ;)

Considerations:

* Do we really need to request multiple diffs at once, or do we just want an
API point for requesting *a* diff in a consistent fashion?

* Do we care that the result is going to be a big wad of HTML which will change
depending on the version of MediaWiki, the diff backend installed, etc?

* What's the actual intention of fetching the diff anyway?
