Michiel Leenaars: On that first point, since it is also a question in the document: in case of say very large deletions (say people moving around large chapters with many elements such as footnotes within a document etc) it crossed my mind that you might want to have both mechanisms in place, and have applications decide on the basis of criteria we do not need to set ourselves (e.g. volume of the removed part) which option to pick. Simple short stuff might be inline, huge deletions could be kept elsewhere for performance reasons. Any thoughts on that? Would that be worth the cost of two mechanisms? |
Robin La Fontaine: My view on this is that we should always avoid having two different ways of representing the same thing, for reasons outlined in the document. In this case there is no very strong reason to have both representations, and therefore I think we should decide on either inline or removed elsewhere. Ganesh provides a view to say that inline is better, and I would tend to agree with this. |
