I love Craft's Drafts. Compared to everything else out there, the live previewing, combined with sharing of unpublished drafts work extremely well.
The only thing missing is when comparing a couple drafts or a draft with the live version, it'd be great to see what the differences are.
One simple option I'd love to see is having a "compare drafts" mode; when invoked, it'd pull up a live preview with forwards and backwards buttons where you can flip between the versions and spot the differences yourself between versions.
Looking at how other CMS do it, for example, ProcessWire has their upcoming ProDrafts feature where it shows only the fields that where changed (for example, in the case of an asset or relational field).

Some kind of diff tool for html / text fields would be superb.
It would really interesting if it also worked with live preview. Use something like John Resig's javascript diff tool on the 2 versions and then show the differences in the live preview.

Handling the changed assets and matrix in the live preview would be the most challenging part I would guess, among other things, but I believe P&T could pull it off in a way that made sense.
