I've also found it tough to figure out how one would display the changes...
I guess we could always simply display the first few lines of the
change history, as opposed to the first few lines of the page itself.
But I'm not sure that grabbing lines out of the middle of a page is
useful content in an RSS feed -- maybe it is, but it just feels "wrong"
to me somehow.

Better would probably to standardize the ChangeSummary script and have
the change summary placed in the RSS feed if the author provides it.
