It's not clear whether you want to get an upper bound or a lower bound
for the difference. In the intervals given by Maarten and Svend give an
interval that says the difference is at least the lower bound. But you
may want an interval that says it's no more than the upper bound. In
particular, if the upper bound is less than 0, then the inference is
that the difference is significantly less than 0.
