Hi JoAnn,

        

      
      
      Thank you for this post. It is worth
          taking into account the ETSI LIS (ex LIA OSCAR) xml:tm
          standard as a starting point:

          

          http://www.gala-global.org/oscarStandards/xml-tm/xml-tm.html

          

          There is no point in re-inventing the wheel or competing
          standards.

          

          Best Regards,

Dear
            Friends,

        
Robin
            LaFontaine and I have begun a discussion list in the OASIS
            LinkedIn site about change tracking. Please consider joining
            in the discussion that moves toward a possible Change
            Tracking TC. See the link below. You’ll have to join the
            LinkedIn group first.

                        Tracking Technical Committee
                      

                
                
I
                    got it. This thread is the discussion. I thought
                    "discussion list" meant something more specific.

                    

                    I am personally indifferent to this topic in
                    general. As a participant in the development of the
                    ODF specifications, there is no impact with respect
                    to an XML-level change-tracking proposal or activity
                    and I don't know what the compelling use case is for
                    a standardization effort at that level.

                    

                    For ODF (I can't speak for DITA, and only observe
                    that DocBook might be an interesting case too), the
                    issue is at the semantic level of the document
                    format, not the fact that XML is used as a medium
                    for expressing the document structures for ODF.
                    Change tracking at ODF is based on the perceived
                    document, not its internal _expression_, and the
                    limited capabilities already in the ODF
                    specification, as much as they require work to
                    satisfy interoperability, are oriented in that
                    direction.
                    

                    

                    If it were thought that an XML-level
                    document-abstraction-neutral method were expected to
                    be achievable and incorporated in future standards
                    for higher-level document formats, I would be very
                    concerned. Put differently, the XML DOM is not the
                    ODF DOM. XML is a carrier for an elaborate
                    structural model that is not sensible when viewed as
                    XML alone.
