   another element for HTML, a good copanion to INS and DEL would

RANGE and SPOT from HTML3 and HTML Pro could do this. Even better if
(as you suggest) it was done with metadata. I think a specific element
just for dates is a bit too specialist for the ephemeral nature of the
Web. Better to author in a longer-term format which provides this kind
of markup already (eg TEI)...there will be an XML version for use on
the Web.
