Another related thought we could discuss for revision control using ins
and del is that they could do with a couple of attributes, a datetime
and an author:

<p>On a dull and dreary afternoon <ins datetime="2006-27-08 12:34:56"
author="Ric Hardacre">I added this text while</ins> the rain poured down</p>
