I think it would be nice for both "View

show bytes added/removed. This would make it easier to distinguish between

I'm not sure we should even show byte counts by default. It must be very
confusing for newbies (especially if they don't know what a byte is).
And it clutters up the UI.
Perhaps make it optional and disable by default? It's mostly targeted at
experienced users anyway.
If we'd make it optional, I don't think your proposal would be any
problem (and as a Wikipedian I'd love to have that feature!).
