I think Bill was talking about making his editing plug-in display changes to the document as change bars or whatnot. But that's just my interpretation. WRT revision control software on I-Ds, I think it's an excellent idea, but authors should use whatever they agree on. IMHO, the IETF doesn't need to provide a system. CVS vs. RCS vs. subversion vs. $DIETY knows what is too much of a mess to wade into for the benefit. If the Secretariat is going to provide something it may as well be wdiff (ASCII/HTML) output which is human readable.
