This will require downtiime on upgrade, so we're not going to do it until we have a better idea of the cost and can make all necessary changes at once to minimize it.
Have diff link after hist link, so that the diff links form a column
Don't have different labels for diff links of top revisions vs old revisions
Have (top) mark at the end of the line
Does not look up the next old revision for every change but links to pseudo-revision 'prev'.
DifferenceEngine looks up the previous revision if user requests a specific diff.

object to encapsulate the handling of get/post variables:
The following grab something out of $_REQUEST. The first parameter is the
variable name and is required. The second is an optional default value:
$wgRequest->getVal() - any type, returns NULL if no default given
$wgRequest->getInt() - forced integer, 0 default
$wgRequest->getText() - runs through $wgLang->recodeInput()
$wgRequest->getBool() - return true/false
$wgRequest->getCheck() - returns true if the var is set, even if to ""
$wgRequest strips slashes at initialization if necessary.
Also in this fine object:
$wgRequest->wasPosted() - returns false if this wasn't a real form post,
so we can protect against faked submissions in get urls.
There's still plenty of work to do, not everything uses the new functions
yet. To test the strict mode, do define('DEBUG_GLOBALS', 1);
changes (bug #845036). User contributions and related changes now
ignore this preference.
Also, fixed a problem where the show/hide minor edits link wasn't
appearing on recent changes and related changes. Made sure that the
param gets passed through with all the links.
Made sure that user contributions also had a show/hide minor edits
thing, and that minor edits are flagged with the M (or whatever) in
user contributions.
