[Design] [Chandler][Stamping Question] Visual cue when making edits

A while back Sheila presented the Stamping Storyboards. On one of the  
slides (See enclosed screenshot), the mock up shows revisions in  
'red' from someone who is collaborating with the person using  
Chandler. From what I was told, currently edits displayed in 'red'  
was not going to be possible for an upcoming release.

My question is: What is the minimal amount of visual cue (if not  
color coded) is possible for the short term to show that someone has  
made an edit to a shared item?

Here are some examples based on methods used in e-mail:

Example 1:
Dinner @ 7PM at Café Floré
 > Let's do dinner at 8PM in case I am late.
 >> 8PM sounds great!

Sometimes edits are shown with a strike-through.

Example 2:
Dinner @ 7PM 8PM at Café Floré

I've also seen a horizontal line drawn on the far left and right of  
edits. Please see enclosed example with the blue and red horizontal  
lines.



Or even just adding the text above the edits as in the enclosed  
screenshot, "Priscilla Chung wrote:", "On Sep 7, 2006, at 1:32PM, Dan  
Steinicke wrote:" So it would look something like this:

Example 3:

That sounds great!

Any other suggestions?
