Of course, after I sent the above, I discovered that MoinMoin *does* 
retain an archive already, and the archive can be traversed in the Diff 
column of Get Info/Revision History of any page. One can display all the 
diffs for a page by appending the "&rev2=" and "&rev1=" filters to the 
?action=diff command in the URL.

ex. http://www.mydomain.com/wpwiki/FrontPage?action=diff&rev2=59&rev1=54
							================

So, armed with this new knowledge, I modify the request: Forget about 
creating a configurable parameter and just incorporate the &rev-style 
filtering into the RecentChanges/RSS feature to allow for unique past 
diffs to be read.  Looking at the XML page that displays when you press 
the RSS button on Recent Changes, it looks like the code that creates 
this page could be modified to include the &rev filters to the URL links 
in feed articles.
