Some thoughts on Change Tracking
A change to the name of the image referenced in the markup means that an entirely different picture is being used.  I'd certainly expect an application that supports showing change tracking to show that as a change.  As an example, the only thing that changed when I tested deleting an image and replacing it with a different one (with the same dimensions) in OO.o 3.3 was the last 4 characters in the file name.  <draw:frame draw:style-name="fr1" draw:name="graphics1" text:anchor-type="paragraph" svg:width="6.9252in" svg:height="4.328in" draw:z-index="0">
<draw:image xlink:href="Pictures/1000000000000780000004B0D94E6AD8.jpg" xlink:type="simple" xlink:show="embed" xlink:actuate="onLoad"/> </draw:frame>  <draw:frame draw:style-name="fr1" draw:name="graphics1" text:anchor-type="paragraph" svg:width="6.9252in" svg:height="4.328in" draw:z-index="0">
<draw:image xlink:href="Pictures/1000000000000780000004B07DFCDB06.jpg" xlink:type="simple" xlink:show="embed" xlink:actuate="onLoad"/> </draw:frame>
Re-reading the back-and-forth between Ben and Andreas, perhaps some read a bit of confusion into the example?  The ECT example was not about changing the name of an existing file in the package and what would happen to references to that file in the ODF markup.  I agree that's not worth tracking and I can't imagine off the top of my head why that would be useful.  Recall ECT is about tracking user actions, so that example was about the user replacing one image with another.  Which changes the filename in the draw:image markup.  John
