I think you underestimate the effort because the changes are not always
as clear (adding one line) as for copy.sgml as you've shown above. For
example, if I check create_table.sgml between v15 and v16, I see that
the addition of STORAGE modified an existing line. So that regex has to
match and wrap just the relevant substring. When new storage modes are
added we end up with nested version info in order to compare vXX with
pre v16:
Yeah. I think the chances of getting people to do this in the .sgml
files are precisely zero. What might have a chance of happening is
to provide a way on the website of running htmldiff or similar tool
over two versions of a doc page on-the-fly and show the results.

I agree with Tom, I think automation of this process is the way to go here.
