changed [0..1]AnonymousHas this ENTIRE structural element (such as a Section (structure of legislation), Title (structure of legislation), etc.) been added or deleted?Note: Use the <added-phrase> and <deleted-phrase> elements for changes inside a structure that are less than the full structure.This attribute is used to mark entire structures that should be made typographically distinct because they have been added to or deleted from a measure. In contrast, the added phrase <added-phrase> and deleted phrase <deleted-phrase> elements are used to indicate changes within a structure that are less than the full structure, sometimes as little as a word, a number, or a few letters.A structure (such as a title or a section) that has been marked as changed using this attribute is usually presented in a different typographic style to indicate the change. Material that has been inserted (added) is typically in italics. Material that has been removed (deleted) is typically struck through.from group res-structure-attributes
