Surely that would depend on why the document was being read. You say
that <del> text should be struck through, but it would be just as
sensible not to display it at all if the reader only wanted to read
the document in its current state.

Similarly one way a screen reader could validly render such text is
to ignore it, another would be to insert content so it would be come:

This is the, used to be; old text, changed to; new text.
