Hi Veiky,

I'm not familiar with this behaviour (nor am I a personal fan of the del
tag), but could adding a description or title attribute to the del tag, be
used to notify the user of what has changed and why!? If not, I think there
quickly becomes an argument as to why you should alert the user of the
deleted content at all.
