Well office XP has a version control scheme.
All I can say is that they interface is quite horrid and the backward
compatibility with older version of office sucks really bad.

I do think that it is very very helpful.
But I would consider this to be something fairly advanced in terms of
the feature set. As long as I can highlight manually etc I can get away
with marking changes.

When you approach this, then do it in a way that works across all
KOffice products and is backward compatible with older versions.

Best regards,
Lukas Smith
