Why should I be able to comment only on a tracked change? ... Hmmm. Well, I
dunno, maybe it makes some kind of sense. It's Not Like MS-Word (TM), though.

Ah, why not? Just use a [✔] and a [✖] character from whatever font you like to
make a bitmap. It's not perfect but it will do. And if the [✔] is blue or
green, and the [✖] is red, it's even more clear. And if there's something which
looks like a document in the background, probably even better.

No way to add icons to that set?

I can't figure that out by looking at it. Isn't there some kind of a lock 
icon, like one of, say, these:

http://findicons.com/search/lock

Really? I've never used these two in conjunction. I only use track changes to
interact with someone who might make changes his/herself, never to show a
changed document without others being able to edit it also.

Just noticed that after writing everything else. They're quite nice, except for
the accept/reject dialog, which is kind of ambiguous, but I can't think of a
better alternative. Maybe if you could make the dialog there slightly bigger,
and add a red and a green dot into it somehow to represent deletions and
additions? I also think [✔] and [✖] are more apporpriate than [+] and [-].
