The HTML INS and DEL tags are very useful for tracking document changes on the
web. It would be nice if Mozilla had a way, in addition to the default (seeing
DEL text as strikethrough or INS text as underlined), to see the old version of
the document (hiding text inside INS tags and displaying text inside DEL tags as
normal) or the new version (vice-versa). It could also use the datetime
attribute to show different versions of the document over time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make an HTML file with text inside INS and DEL tags.
2. Look at it in Mozilla.
3. Think of how nice it would be to see just the old or new version of the
document. :^)
This can be done by modifying userStyle.css, right?
If you're talking about using the "visibility: hidden" style attribute, that
will make the text invisible but still leave the space for where it was. It
won't skip over the text as if it weren't there, so it's inadequate for this use.
display:none would be what you want, not visibility:hidden.

This is a duplicate of the bug on having multiple user stylesheets and being
able to toggle them (simplest way to address the request in this bug).

Okay, I've tried display:none and that does have the intended effect.

I think the bug Boris is referring to is bug 45848. Boris's comment from that bug:

"The impression I got was that you would go to prefs when you wanted to add a new
user stylesheet or delete an existing one.  Then the menu would allow you to
choose among the style sheets you had added."

That would seem to take care of the problem, as long as the style sheet would
still apply when printing.
Shane: is there a reason this bug is still open?
