Because the value cells are left-aligned (or right-aligned in a right-to-left
environment), showing the new value under the old value can help the user to
spot any minor changes just from the characters being misaligned between the
two cells. For example, [this
relation](https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/18322858/history/10)’s fairly
long `description=*` is edited to replace “shift” with a naughty word one
letter shorter, then showing the full new value under the full old value would
make that change more apparent. But showing both the old and new values
together on one line in their entirety, separated by a →, would make it more
difficult to spot that one-letter change. In the future, an inline diff word by
word would also make the change apparent, so we could go back to combining the
old and new values in a single cell.
