Primarily because underlining was impossible, I think.

Certainly we don't need to retain to the grammatical insertions - normalization distinction - that is, failure to make that distinction would not make the project impossible. But in my opinion distinguishing the two makes it easier to understand the proposed changes (particularly the motivation for the proposed changes).

Also, it forces the editor to have a clear motivation in the first place.
