If it is easy, we could add it for the next release.

Victor wrote that using XHTML at the presentation layer would make it
easier add RSS feeds. We have choosen to use "HTML 4.01 Strict" instead to
be able to support mobile devices. -- There is an email in the archive list

Would be better support _any_ diff format?. I do not know if supporting
_any_ diff format would be a problem.

Maybe we could support any diff format, but prefer some one. In such case
we could expose it, for example at the "How the development team and
