I think revisions should consider content, styles and metadata. These are
three planes of data in an ODF document. If we defined a macro language
we might even talk about a 4th plane, of behavior. In any case, I agree
this metadata should be considered in this work. But I'm indifferent to
whether we want to get to that level of detail in the charter.

Maybe I'm missing something. Are you talking about change tracking of
documents where the change happens to be or include a change in metadata?
Or are you talking about a different scenario involving annotations?
