When the page gets more dynamically rendered, will we still need the mdiff
filtering function? I guess filtering will be handled by js, and we'll need
to label all chunks instead of filtering them on server side.

I think the mdiff and patch.diff() APIs are the most controversial part in
this series. If we can go without them, that would be nice.
