It is exactly how Word works, so I expect that is what the users
would expect / put up with. But then why not do it better.

That will only work up to 3 changes to the same text, but we could
allow the revision-remove and revision-add attributes to carry
multiple revision ID's, and this way we could achieve an infinite
depth of such changes even without the revision-stet attribute.
What I am not sure about is how to indicate in the text, in a
sensible way, the number of actual changes associate with a
particular piece of text. The advantage of my previous suggestion
was that you never had a piece of text belonging to more than two
revisions, but I am sure we can come up with something.
