The browse view currently <del>crosses out</del> any element that today is 
deleted or redacted, regardless of whether the changeset you’re viewing was 
responsible for deleting it. Otherwise, you wouldn’t see any crossed-out 
elements, since this PR only deals with tag changes. Eventually it would be 
just as useful to highlight changes to members or coordinates in the same 
manner. If so, we probably wouldn’t be able to rely on strikethrough to 
indicate both “this changeset removed this member” and “this member has since 
been deleted or redacted”.

This is because most editors these days automatically remove all the tags when 
deleting an object (which just sets is visibility attribute). It remains 
possible to delete an object without deleting the tags using the raw API or 
[Level0](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Level0). Older editors like 
Potlatch used to keep the tags too, so one can still encounter crossed-out 
names and such. However, this is an edge case that I don’t think we need to be 
concerned about.
