INS, DEL and Collaborative Document Design

I am planning a project to look at collaborative HTML document 
development via the Web. I am thinking of using the proposed 
HTML 3 elements INS and DEL to delineate the changes associated 
with different versions or a document, with appropriate 
attributes to reflect authorship, version numbers and so on. 
This is because I need this information at the client side, 
to allow toggling between different versions and so that much
of the document management intelligence can be built into 
the client agent. But, I don't want to waste time 
repeating what someone else may have already done, or waste 
time on what has already been shown to be a *Bad Idea*. 

Has anyone looked at integrating this type of functionality
into HTML or other markup languages?
