I've been testing but not quite sure what to think about the above
output. Is this more natural and expected output:

  A quick(<red>brown</red><green>yellow</green>) fox

i.e. no ()'s between the changed words? Although this

  -A quick brown fox
  +A quick yellow fox

has always became this:

  A quick <red>brown</red> <green>yellow</green> fox
                    ------^
  (Notice space here)           

So there is kind of "added space" but I guess technically it's actually
like this:

  A quick <red>brown </red><green>yellow </green>fox

So I think space is consistent with parentheses in your example.
