Spotting fuzzy difference in large html block

Hi,

I just had a minor frustration dealing with a fuzzy in r1654755 of
svn+ssh://svn@svn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/l10n-kf5/eo/messages/kstars/kstars.po
where the cause turned out to be a single character typo fix buried in
the large html hunk.
How do you guys deal with such a situation?
I resorted to
- copy/pasting the old hunk to an xml file, cleaning it to be valid XML;
- copy/pasting the new hunk to another xml file, cleaning it to be valid XML;
- running both files through xmllint --html --format to get normalized
formatted files;
- running diff of the two normalized files.

... And all that just to find:
The only difference between the two large hunks was a one character typo fix,
"encapulates" -> "encapsulates"
at original line:
#| "circle centred on the star centroid that encapulates half the star's flux."

Is there an easier way to find the difference(s)?

Thanks,

Oliver
