Reopening. The rationale given for WONTFIX is a bad reason for *keeping* <ins>
and <del>. It's a sensible rationale for not introducing alternatives.

I suggest making ins and del inline-only (not removing them in order to avoid
upsetting people who are using them as inlines on their blogs) and adding a
common attributes for flagging any block as inserted. The default styling
should probably be along the lines of outline-right: solid black 0.3em;.

Personally, I'm unconvinced about the suitability of deletion tracking as an
HTML feature.
