This prompts the question "what do you suggest for implementing track
changes": should I use <ph> elements with attributes and tweak the
stylesheet so I can mark added and deleted text,

Personally, I would never do this given the fact we have the Compare tool:

or is there some more elegant approach?


Tutorial (including a screencast):

"Reviewing changes using the Compare tool" -- http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_tutorial/review_changes/index.html

OK, it's not change tracking per se (à la MS-Word), but it implements a similar functionality and it works flawlessly whatever the number and the complexity of the changes. I mean the author of a document will never miss a change made by a reviewer.

So my advice is: please give this feature a *serious* try. It will do the job and you'll like it.
