Thanks for the explanation of the API status of these features (not 
quoted here for brevity), and for taking up the problem. I've needed to 
use comments and change tracking in word processor files in the past; 
it's likely that I will need them again in the future, and the only 
solution is currently to use a proprietary word processor. As I 
generally write in a markup language such as LaTeX or Markdown, my 
interactions with word processor files usually involve reading, editing 
or reviewing other peoples' documents.
