Thus, when the user will be reading the email (later), if the page has had other modifications in the meantime, there is no easy way to know what change the notification is referring. Ideally, a link to the version comparison that resulted in the change being notified (same as what is used to produce the diff in the email) would be sent, as it's the case for when the diff is not enabled.
