The point of doing it this way is to make undo possible.
Are you assuming that is the reason, or do you have a source to cite?
Sorry, didn't realize I had strayed into academia. ;-)
I don't have a source, but it's the only theory that makes any sense.
Why would a programmer or developer go to all the extra trouble of doing
it this way when it would be much simpler and easier to simply do as
Felix says? Only if there were some benefit. And the benefit I outlined
is both obvious and desirable to most users.
