I work with telco standards and the organizations that I follow use Word documents. The way we keep a paper trail of all the changes to a new standard’s draft is by separating the change proposals into their own documents (using change marks against the latest agreed draft) and only allowing a named editor to actually implement the agreed change proposals back to the master document. The change proposal documents, together with the meeting minutes create a perfect history of who proposed what changes and when.
