Hello, I have modified Zenmap to read the new (still unmerged) Ndiff output. I have two ideas for viewing it and I want to know which you prefer. http://www.bamsoftware.com/wiki/Nmap/ZenmapDiff Option A just reads Ndiff's text output and shows it on the screen with a bit of color. Option B reads Ndiff's XML output, rebuilds the diff, and displays it with more varied markup. The linked page also has an example of the current output for comparison.
Honestly, the option A (text) looks fine to me, and is presumably trivial to implement compared to B. I do think that your color coding of the output helps a lot. Unless you can think of a desired significant feature or output flourish which can only be done with approach B, my vote is for the simpler Option A. I see the new ndiff text output as a big improvement over the previous version.
