Remarks

Other is the ordinary case, not an exotic one. Word records eleven kinds of revision and this models the two that describe content changing; the remaining nine — the two halves of a move, and formatting changes to runs, paragraphs, sections, tables, rows and cells — all arrive as Other. A document edited with track-changes on while somebody restyled it can therefore be entirely Other.

Reporting them coarsely beats refusing to read the document, and beats throwing on a kind added by a later Word. Naming more of them later is additive.
