I found some time ago that I did not need any of the specialized diff tools to verify an I-D before submitting it.  I do not even need for my fingers to leave the keyboard:

1. Load the xml file (or whatever format you are using) from the directory that already contains the previous unpaginated text versions.

$ vi draft-petithuguenin-rfc-ontology-04.xml

2. Generate the text version of the I-D without pagination.

:!xml2rfc --text -P draft-petithuguenin-rfc-ontology-04.xml

3. Create a new window and load the generated file in it.

CTRL-W n
:e draft-petithuguenin-rfc-ontology-04.txt

4. Display a diff with the previous version in the same way that the web version did.

:vert diffs draft-petithuguenin-rfc-ontology-03.txt

5. Modify your source, run step 2 again, and use the :e command in the top right window to refresh the diff (CTRL-W + arrows to move between windows).  Repeat until the diff looks good.
