Check out xfdiff.

The side-by-side comparison matches the way I think. 
It nails the "human readable" part. 
Unfortunately, it does not output HTML. 
It's ironic that the example screenshot is _of_ HTML. 

The middle example of http://colordiff.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html 
looks more like want you want.

Perhaps hacking ColorDiff would be more helpful. 
In colordiff.pl, try redefining $plain_text, $file_old, $file_new, 
$diff_stuff, and cvs_stuff with the desired HTML.
