That's pretty much it.  Except it's always tied to a particular
discussion post in which a difference is being discussed.  Last Conseo
and I spoke, I think we agreed that each bite of the diff feed will
contain:

 a) Post URL, e.g.:

    http://metagovernment.org/pipermail/start_metagovernment.org/2010-September/003091.html

 b) Short tweet-like summary of the post

    Hey Thomas, (sorry for the delay) | I made the terminology changes
    ("namegiver", "donation") that we agreed to previously.

 c) Difference URL

    http://u.zelea.com:8080/v/w/Diff?b=3860&a=3891

 d) URLs of the two texts:

    http://u.zelea.com/w/User:Mike-ZeleaCom/G/p/owdo?oldid=3891
    http://u.zelea.com/w/User:ThomasvonderElbe%20GmxDe/G/p/owdo?oldid=3860

 e) Poll ID

    G/p/owdo

Much else can be derived from this, of course, including the geolocals
that we'll need for the geomap.  So there can be lots more info on the
theatre screen, depending on what map view the user has dialed up.
