Hi Gregory, At 22:17 21/01/2009, Gregory J.

(See for example Jukka Korpela's critical review of the July 1997 HTML 4.0 draft at <http://www.cs.tut.fi/%7Ejkorpela/HTML4.0/comments.html>.) In the past, I've also argued for an attribute for these elements where you could put the author's or editor's name (but others argued that this should be handled with RDF) and for a mechanism to link insertions and deletions, somewhat similar to the label-input input relationship. The latter would support Michael's edits where the insertions are a few lines below the deletions.
