Comment(by mdawaffe):

 What's the value in allowing reverse diffs?

 With the current UI for the diffs, left is always older, right in always
 newer, red is always removed, and green is always added.  Allowing reverse
 diffs takes away that consistency.

 How do you see a one column of radio buttons UI working out?

 We could do it the way mediawiki does it: two columns of radio buttons,
 but only show the ones that are "legal".  Click around on the radio
 buttons http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=history
 to see what I mean.
