Hello Heiko Tietze,


Sorry for our mutual misunderstanding ^-^ I do want to have the changes
displayed, otherwise the whole issue is irrelevant.

So I'll try to be clearer :

- So the changes must be displayed :
    - In the current implementation, inline deletions impair reading;
    - so they must not be displayed inline;
    - which means they must be displayed elsewhere.

- the choice of the "elsewhere" seems to divide so much :
    - Actually it's of no importance at all in a first step;
    - if multiple places can exist, I'd say first implemented wins ^-^

- afterwards, it'll be time to refine :
    - Ask the question of where it's best to display deletions;
    - there could even be multiple places and let the user choose;
    - and also the question of displaying user/time/version or other
information along with the changes;
    - all that can only be done once deletions are displayed in a place where
they do not impair reading...

I just wanted to stress that "what elsewhere is chosen" can't be allowed to be
blocking for "having a working elsewhere"...
