true, but won't tell you whats changed. for that matter just md5 them and diff the hashes, though that still won't tell you whats changed.

you need something that runs out of cron, that can take a snapshot of a given page at any given time, parse it, and checkpoint the changes.

Easy to do in perl+mysql+wget. Just time consuming.
