One version of Word did something like that by accident, I think.
(Or at least looking at it with an hex editor revealed all kinds of
details.)
Are you sure you want the person that gets your document to see what
mistakes and changes you made? (Not when you apply for a job and tend
to only change the company name ;))

I like it too. And I think the thing it misses most is an undo/redo
function. One thing I like about MS Office is that you can try things
out and always have undo for when things don't work as expected.
