I don't have much experience with RSS feeds, but there are some additional 
parameters to add diff information. See comment sent with the feed:

<!--
     Add an "items=nnn" URL parameter to get more than the default 15 items.
     You cannot get more than 100 items though.

     Add "unique=1" to get a list of changes where page names are unique,
     i.e. where only the latest change of each page is reflected.

     Add "diffs=1" to add change diffs to the description of each items.

     Add "ddiffs=1" to link directly to the diff (good for FeedReader).
-->

unique is known to be broken in Moin < 1.3. ddiffs=1 is problably what you 
want. I don't know if diffs=1 is that usefull.
