I'd think that something like [text](ed: change -- why), like so:
They called to say that [they're](ed: was `their` -- be
careful with their and they're) coming over in
[a](ed: was `an` -- `an` is only before a vowel) quarter-hour.
might be a little more readable than the thicket of []'s that
Mr. Raskin proposed.
I like this variation:
They called to say that the{-ir}{+y're}{be careful with their and
they're} coming over in a{-n}{`an` is only before a vowel}
quarter-hour.

Re: Collaboration made simple with bracket notation
It's an interesting idea - as mentioned in the comments the brackets would need to be changed to something else that doesn't collide with current (or future) Markdown syntax, but I like the concept. I've had several MMD users who collaborated on documents and tried to avoid using Word for its annotation features. I added in a custom feature so that Scrivener users could use it's annotation feature to insert comments, but it doesn't have a deletion/addition syntax. I could consider adding something like this to MultiMarkdown, but would rather wait to ensure that the chosen syntax was compatible with whatever Gruber has planned for Markdown.
