But you do have to design the markup language in a way that satisfies 
the use cases.  In this case, it clearly doesn't satisfy at least one of 
them.

The edit attribute would meet this one, as you could use:

li[edit=deleted] { display: none; }

It's even somewhat backwards compatible with current browsers.
