A local add is not a restructuring change. It is just adding new nodes
into the tree. You can revert any of those nodes -- you are not
required to revert the root of an add.

You *do* have to go to the root of a copy/move to revert it, however.

There is no way to revert the deletion of a child, so (again) you must
revert a deletion at its op-root.

And this leads me to think that you're confusing "add" with
"copy/move". Adds never have text/prop mods. The text and props are
ALWAYS new.

IOW, fix your terminology and then I can tell whether we agree or not.
