This was tried briefly once before and people found it equally (if not
more) confusing.  The problem is that with the restore link in the box
it's not entirely clear if you're restoring the changes that are in the
box or if you're removing them.

Really we aren't restoring the differences, we're restoring the version
of the page that exists between sets of changes.  Perhaps just changing
the restore link text to "Undo all above edits" is all that we need.
