Re: Alarm: Style rules may change semantic part of an HTML document.

Indeed. In order to mark up edits, either use <s> element (stating that the
content is not up to date), which is rendered as a strikethrough even in
absence of author-made CSS, or use <ins>/<del> with @datetime so you can
state both what the sentence looked like before the edit and what it says
after, along with the edit date.
Styles that strongly affect the document (e.g. strikethrough, display:none
etc.) with no proper semantic reason and with no semantic
elements/attributes to support them should probably be avoided.
