How about:

<myDoc xml:lang='en'>
 <head>
  <style>Standard Letter</style>
  <generator>SmallOffice/2.1$9095</generator> 
  <creation>2007-10-11T07:46:49</creation> 
 </head>
 <id xml:lang="zxx">H4-A3-F8-A1</id>
 <par>To start click the <ins><ui>Start</ui>
  button</ins><del>green icon</del>
  and fill the form labeled by the following icon:
  <ref file="vat.png" alt="Value Added Tax Form"/></par>
</myDoc>

Moving the <id> outside the <head> to illustrate the use of zxx.
All this with the appropriate changes to the ITS rules.

<ins> indicates new text, <del> indicate deleted text. normal + <ins> = current text. So <ins> needs to be translated, just like in
HTML, RTF, etc.
