That just shows the result though. It doesn't give any indication of
what's different from before or offer any way to revert.

Compare with wikipedia where you can choose two different revisions
and see a side-by-side comparison of the sections which have changed.

It seems like the analog with a map would be two side-by-side maps
with the nodes which are changed highlighted in both maps. New nodes
would be highlighted in the new map in, say, green, deleted nodes
highlighted in the old map in red, and changed nodes highlighted in
both maps in a third colour.

Just showing a single map with a brown rectangle around an entire area
doesn't really give you a clue what in that rectangle has changed or
what will happen if the changeset is reverted.
