Diff works based on two revisions, instead of range of revision. BTW, it
doesn't seem to me that log's two-rev options is to maintain the compatibility.
It's used to specify range of revisions, something the range notation does much
better, IMHO.

Most, if not all, programs that allows long opts use full word(s) instead of
shorthand, so I thought revision seemed more 'conforming' than rev.
