That was my question.

You are presuming a model that does not track changes to changes.

Which is one presumption but perhaps not the one that the TC desires to 
make.

Can think of compression/condensation of operations but that means the 
CT syntax has to record multiple changes, say make bold and italic 
instead of separate operations of bold, then italic (on the same text).

And, it means we have to define when compression/condensation occurs and 
how it is recorded in syntax.

Not objecting to your answer but it leaves out a lot of detail. ;-)

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick
