Note

On this element, the `type` attribute indicates the action cancelled by the restoration. Its value should be the name of the tag contained within the `<restore>` element which is cancelled by the restoration. Most often, this will be `<del>`, but might also be `<hi>`, etc. In cases of simple nesting of a single cancelled action within the `<restore>` element this attribute will not be necessary.
