This was the sort of thing I was trying to avoid. This pretty much
gets me the paragraph that needs to be fixed, which is a similar
result to diff.

Not a terrible solution. Could use the context part of diff to get a
few words either side. On the other hand, I was kinda hoping I wasn't
the first one to need a tool like this, and that it would either be an
option in a standard(ish) tool (man diff returned no joy), or that
there was a tool that did this that I wasn't aware of.
