If you allow me some liberty, the suggestion is in two parts
1. Word/Pdf/Latex->Org converter
2. Change tracking within Org
For most of us who write or work with copious amount of text, (1) could
really be useful. If it gains sufficient escape velocity it can land us
in a far off galaxy. (2) could be useful but a bit far-fetched at the
moment.
I have suggested or hinted elsewhere (in a babel thread) the need for
importing in to Org from other formats.
