In general the links to a diff marked version are to a static file, not to one that is dynamically generated. There also continues to be an issue with the dynamic ones in that items in "pre" blocks get marked as changed even though they are not. This is not the case when the tool is used from the command line - only when invoked via respec from a browser. So the utility of an embedded link to a dynamic diff marked version might be suspect. Regardless, I will think about making the extension for you. I have a 4 day weekend with little scheduled.
