The preceding email got long, so I wanted to quickly highlight one thing.
We seem to have (at least) two separate problems to solve here:
1. how/when to detect/flag all changes in a single version
2. how to represent changes from multiple versions simultaneously
Key issues for #1 are whether to do so at edit time, or at export time, and
if so how. For one starting point on thinking that through, see my previous
message.
Key issues for #2 are currently being addressed in the revision marks
thread. I haven't thought those through at all.
bottom line
-----------
As always, I want to make this distinction explicit so that people realize
when and whether they're talking past each other. I think the two issues
are at least somewhat orthogonal.
Obviously, we eventually need a design which works on both levels, but in
the mean time, it may help to tackle each one on the assumption that the
other can be solved.
