We once thought of having some markup in our LaTeX files to track changes,
offering annotations. If I recall correctly, we had a command
\changed{old}{new}{comment}.
You could leave out the new or old text part: newly added text would be
\changed{}{bla bla}{this is new text!}, deleted text would be
\changed{completely wrong}{}{what an idiot}. The command would render the
old/new text differently (gray, strikethrough, blue, whatever) and add the
comment as a margin note.
Maybe something like this would be useful/feasible in Org? (not that I have a
need for this -- we never implemented that command, either).
Cheers,
Peter._______________________________________________
