CVS/Emacs/EDiff?  It would get the job done, no idea how user friendly
it would be.  Also, have you had a look at LyX (www.lyx.org)?  It's
basically a perty front end to LaTeX (and DocBook, I think) that lets
you just type away, selecting the LaTeX styles for each block of text as
you go.  It's not WYSIWYG, but it's close enough.  It also has built in
RCS support and, IIRC, annotation support.  It's been a while since I
last used it tho, so YMMV.
