I was wondering about the general state of change tracking in complex
structures like tables in the various (XML) authoring tools available.

Based on what various websites tell me it looks like support is
very limited or absent in most tools (including our own current release).

When I delete a column while tracking changes even Word will show:

  "This action will not be marked as a change. Do you want to continue?"

Effectively this results in unmarked deleted content.

Are there tools our there that do better?

And is this a problem for your customers?

Thanks,
