It would be nice to be able to have "blank comparison" (similar to meldmerge). This is extra-useful when you have two pieces of texts that you want to compare (e.g two scripts you have in two different tabs of your browser) but you don't have them as files on your system.

Some use cases that I have to use meld instead of kdiff3 :
1. when I get a different version of a word/openoffice document and I want to see which part of the text has changed
2. I see two stackoverflow posts and want to quickly compare them
3. My codes on two different computers write in standard output and I want to compare the outputs
