Then - with respect, you misunderstand. "reinstate" is not a more visible
reject. It accepts the change into the underlying document, then adds a tracked
proposal onto the modified baseline document, which, if accepted, would revert
that change.

Another way to think about is that you have two versions of the text:

* baseline
* proposed

and what "reinstate" does is switch the two of them. What had previously been
just a proposition, is now the (accepted) baseline; and what had previously
been accepted into the baseline, now becomes a mere proposition.


This is not "under the hood"; it is the actual "hood"... It may take a moment
to think about, granted, but once you do - it makes perfect sense.
