I think that that is for marking words that don't have a literal
corresponding word in the greek/hebrew, but which don't carry any
additional meaning compared to the original text, as the meaning they
carry is implied gramatically or from context.

e.g., one could turn the sentence

<p>It was tall and blue.</p>

into

<p>It was tall and <transChange type="implied">it was</transChange>blue</p>

This example is of course a bit contrived, but such changes can be
necessary when translating, and there may be cases where they are less
obvious

Kind regards,
