Summary: add a new timeref attribute (of type idref) to <del> and <ins> elements that can be used to reference the id of a local to document <time> element which is then used as the datetime value of when the deletion or insertion occurred. Advantages: 1. encourage more visible data (dates in visible content inside a <time> element rather than in invisible datetime attribute). 2. Better DRY (don't repeat yourself) by enabling sharing of a common <time> element for multiple del/ins edits that occurred at the same date/time. More reasoning/advantages/opinions provided on the wiki: http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Del_element#timeref I encourage fellow web authors to add opinions/comments to that wiki section. Thanks!
