Everyone in government knows what Track Changes is. The standard format of a piece of legislation in British-influenced systems is a diff. The tech field does not have secret knowledge that the rest of humanity lacks.

> Everyone in government knows That's part of the point good rafram, I'm not in government but I've looked up laws for at least three jurisdictions and have never encountered version control. A tool at the bottom of a drawer or in only one person's belt is not a tool to anyone else.
I was thinking the same thing. I feel like people in software tech always think they have secret powers that experts in other fields can't imagine.
