No this is before AND after saving. Very consistent.. Very tiring.

I already have the publishing rights. So I can save OR publish it myself.
In both conditions, the diff should be available straightaway.
Clearly, the GUI is not intuitive.

I do know about the two-stage and three-stage processes. 

But then there is the third possibility of multiple authors working on the same page.
Each saves the page and leaves it for the other. When the next author comes in, he has to check the 
previous changes and then continue.
Note that unless all authors are happy, we will not publish the page.
This workflow is a frequently encountered scenario.

This is unnecessarily complicated.
In a peer-level multiple author scenario, the subsequent author should not be accepting or 
rejecting what is done by the previous author(s).
He should just make his own changes and save.
Then the GUI should be able to show any version vs any other diff.
