I assume the pencil stuff generally indicates additions/insertions. In this case, there are no insertions, but the pencils indicate format changes.

But all of the text was afterwards deleted.

In general, DOCX->ODT retains format redlines. And when I delete a previously format-redlined entry, it changes into a delete-redline. So I'm not sure why the docx would have both entries, but I couldn't duplicate that in LO.

In any case, absorbing previous history into a delete-redline seems like a typical LO normalization - I mark this as LOWEST.
