I use \marginpar all the time to leave comments for myself
in the text.  However, I don't think that it will work at
all for what Bill wants.  He wants a *precise* marking of
the lines that changed.  \marginpar would be OK for a general
"something changed around here", but it isn't very precise.

Do the people who suggest \marginpar have any experience with
using it to draw bars, or are you just guessing?
