you mean like appendix A of RFC 7622?

a grep of "Differences from RFC” in an RFC repository comes up with 71 cases
Changes from RFC comes up with 538

now some of these might be double counted in the ToC and in the file but such 
sections are
not all that uncommon

I do not see such a section in this document

Scott,

Section 1.1 contains a general statement about the nature of changes made.

But more importantly I believe your assertion of the specifics that are
needed is pretty much never met for any of the IETF document revisions
I've seen over the years.
