Opening text from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, with two tracked changes

Here is a better example file. It contains the opening sequence of "Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland", along with a few tracked changes, an insertion and a
deletion. As the effect of "Reinstate" is not quite the same if you reinstate
your own changes, I doctored the LO user data: Alice is the author of the text,
Bob made the changes.

Frankly, the proposed changes do no make it a better text. So the person now
working on the text (Alice or someone else) may not be happy about the changes.
The use of Reinstate for both changes gives a text with changes upon changes,
where the default is to go back to the original text: Both "Accept all" and
"Reject all" will end up as the orignal text. (Of course, if some changes has
been left untouched, "Accept all" will differ from "Reject all" regarding these
changes.)

So: The functionality of "Reinstate" makes the original text the default
regarding the Reinstate'd change(s). What is a good term for this
functionality?

My own favourites remain "Oppose change" or "Reject but track". The suggestion
"Revert" (or possibly "Revert change") may be a possibility, too, but is still
not my favourite.

(During writing this, Heiko concluded that the discussion is academic and
"Reinstate" will be kept. I post this anyway, as a non-academic example - being
aware that we are so late that Reinstate is likely to be maintained.)
