I agree it's not the ideal UI. It's similar to what Darrell Issa's keepthewebopen.com was using with Madison, and to the marked-up texts that the EFF has produced as PDFs, but there's a cognitive jump (for me, at least) between "make a comment" and "propose a change".

Fundamentally, I want a user to be able to propose one or more changes by selecting a section of text and annotating it with a replacement. So there's a semantic difference between "comment" and "change". Furthermore, I also want to be able to easily select a changeset, then produce a draft output that integrates all changes from the changeset.

I think we can do this with co-ment's existing features and maybe a little bit of extra Django hackery, but before I go haring off into the internals, is this more like what you're thinking of?
