Instead of trying to find a markup standard you should stick to the methods utilised by the tool. They wouldn't deviate too much from general markup standards and most of the time they hide the markup from the editor and just display it when needed. There are gazillions of text editing tools out there. I'm using at least 3 or 4 different tools with probably different markup and/or versioning methods. I don't care for the details and just benefit from the output.

In addition to the tools suggested by the commentators (criticmarkup, acrobat pro, xml etc) I can get down the tools I'm currently using or did use in the past which all are capable of marking, commenting, drafting and/or versioning content.

Draftin is an online tool for just writing plain text in a collaborative setup and has a few extra markup features above the basic feature set.

Currently I'm creating service and end user documentation in Confluence which has many powerful collaboration, markup, versioning etc features.

In the past I've used Redmine which again had many built-in (or extendable with addons) powerful markup and versioning features.

I'm also using Microsoft's and Google's online word processing and spreadsheeting tools which have almost every feature for collaboration, versioning, commenting, or marking up content.
