Errr, you do know that you can use a date specifier in curly braces as a
revision don't you? See the 'Revision Dates' section of the
documentation for the recognized formats. You don't really need a tag
just for that purpose - but be sure you understand that if you omit the
timestamp you get the beginning of the day, not the end.

As others have mentioned you can diff 2 urls - and if you have trouble
with the syntax you can add --old= and --new= specifiers. But normally
if you are interested in the code, you'll have a checked out copy of the
trunk already that you can update to get the head revision, then just
'svn diff -r {YYYY-MM-DD}'
to diff against the start of a previous day.
