Sigh, I'll remember to reply properly at some point...

Aquired from the pagerev.php source, I'm altering the $DiffStartFmt to
look like:
  $DiffStartFmt="<div class='diffbox'><a name='\$DiffTime'/><div
class='difftime'>
        \$DiffTime \$[by] <span class='diffauthor' title='\$DiffHost'>
        \$DiffAuthor</span> - \$DiffChangeSum</div>";

Well I used CurrentTime because that was the variable as provided in
the recent changes list, and it seemed to match the diff timedate
string.  What is the difference out of curiousity? I didn't (or
missed) where I could find any references to it in pmwiki docs
