Apologies for the late comment but I don't see additional discussion about
this. I am confused about the `<del>`/`<ins>` approach having been abandoned,
since the removed parts are pretty evident with the strikethrough formatting,
and as for the new parts, CSS could be used to omit the underlining, since the
absence of strikethrough should be enough to distinguish the old vs. new values.
I'm especially puzzled that this additional marking of the values (besides the
coloring), which is being considered due to accessibility concerns, has moved
away from the semantic HTML tags that would make the result universally
unambiguous not just for those with color vision limitations, but also for the
blind users relying on screen readers. (And it would even be machine-readable!)
