There is actually a latex implementation of something like this in the
=changes= package that comes with texlive (at least)!  This package has
commands like \added and \deleted as well.

There is also the =changebar= package which draws change bars in the
margin.

I've used both in the past but found them too cumbersome.  I prefer
simply relying on version control systems (git etc.).
