As for track changes in general, I've concluded over the years that
simply turning it on in the hope that the software (any software) will
produce usable results … doesn't work :-} I prefer to make sure changes
are large enough to comprehend, and then mark them by hand with FM
conditions or – when I'm slumming it – Word styles. For heavy reviewing,
I'll even present /before /and /after /in a two-column table; the ease
of review makes up for the extra work.
OK. Thank you for your feedback.
My real requirement for tracking changes in XXE, as I mentioned before,
is to be able to use the DITA status attribute to drive output
formatting: to highlight differences in a new version of a publication,
I want to be able to say (for instance) "any content tagged with
status='new' is output in green". As far as I remember, this wasn't
possible out of the box last time I asked; I'd have to roll up my
sleeves and tussle with xslt.
* is this still the case?
No.
* is there any chance colour-coding based on attribute values might be
built in in a future version of XXE?
Yes.
Note that your feature request is not related to change tracking, nor to
XMLmind XML Editor.
You simply want XMLmind DITA Converter (http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/),
the DITA processor which happens to be embedded in XMLmind XML Editor,
to render the "status" attribute.

PS: Using the "Easy Profiling" add-on (installed by default), XMLmind
XML Editor can render the status attribute on *screen*.
See attached screenshot.
See attached "status.profiles", which specifies how to render the "new"
and "deleted" values of the "status" attribute.
