See Dave, this is exactly what puzzles me--isn't it much better use of
the TW's time to have version management software track these changes?
Ah, well at least you didn't have to include your change history as
front matter.

From: Dave
I work for the government. This is the first job I've had working for
the government. Before that, I worked for 10 years in commercial. Nobody
told me to track every single change I made, so when I found out I
needed to compile my changes, I ended up needing to do a compare docs in
FrameMaker, and make a notation of each and every punctuation, spelling,
grammar, and other change. My spreadsheet detailing these changes was
over 30 sheets long!
