I've personally proposed that as well, at least once. The problem, similar  
to introducing href="" everywhere is that it's not backwards compatible.  
However, as opposed to <a href="">, <del> and <ins> are not often used and  
don't provide important functionality (the interaction most users have  
with them is their visual appearance).
