How would I would deal with this puzzles me. How would I deal with list
bullets and proper body indent of sections/subsections/subsubsections if
I was to use tables instead of lists? This solution seems to be very
clumsy and artificial. I would have to basically have to recode and
reproduce what the layout engine already does automatically through the
language.

Somebody came up with the idea of creating a column in the left margin.
Such a construct would naturally support borders in an expected
location, but then we are left trying to have matching structures both
in the document and in the column in question for proper alignment of
the revision bars with its associated content. How? Who? What?

Regards
Jeff

You are most likely stuck with unravelling your list structure and wrap
every changed paragraph in a block with an appropriate border, as
described (I personally would probably use a table instead of a
list-block, and just switch the appropriate cell border on).

You can also try to use a blind table and put the bar as SVG in the left
column, with negative text-indent or a relative positioned block (use
0.92 for this, it's unlikely to work in 0.20.5).

Revision bars are in XSLFO 1.1, but it will take quite some time until
FOP implements this.
