What about DaisyDiff (Java and PHP vesions available).

Following features are really nice:

• Works with badly formed HTML that can be found "in the wild".

• Provides easy to understand descriptions of the changes.
• The default GUI allows easy browsing of the modifications through keyboard shortcuts and links.
