There's a disadvantage there, that most text-mode terminals do not
support strike-through, and many don't support underline (or "support"
it with an arbitrarily chosen color, often blue). I think faces can be
set up in a way that they depend on attributes of the terminal - maybe
use underline/strikeout if supported, otherwise use colors (green/red),
and if neither is supported, use +ins+/-del- (I don't think faces can do
this, but you could use the same mechanism as file-name-shadow.)
For another data point: lynx brackets ins and del text in [DEL: deleted
:DEL] and [INS: inserted :INS]. (It also treats "s" as del, but ignores
"u")
