( s/open/upon/, right? )

No, please no... :-)

open_file() means "Something happened to this file, but I haven't told
you what yet"; if followed immediately by close_file(), the pair of
calls means "Something happened to this file, and I'm just not telling
you what, period."

Something has to happen between the calls for the consumer of the
delta to know what was done to the file. If there's nothing between
the calls, then we just don't know (think skelta). Invoking an empty
call to apply_textdelta() would just be incorrect, IMHO.
