Somebody else told me the documents are stored in /.DocumentRevisions-V100.
So I was able to confirm that the transient properties are not stored in the document versions, so my observation about the file contents being different in the versions browser must have been incorrect. In fact, I have been unable to reliably reproduce this. So I'm back to where I was, namely that the Versions model doesn't fit well to an Xcode like architecture where the document only manages the contents of other files on disk.
Thanks,
Martin

I've read that they are kept in the document, but inspection of the (XML-based) Core Data document shows that's not the case. The app is actually a manager of other (text) files on disk, and I'm amazed to see that the versions actually reflect the state of the managed text files, even though the save core data document does not store the file contents. The file contents are stored temporarily in a core data entity as a transient property. Can I then conclude that these transient properties are stored in the different versions? I've tried reading through the documentation on this, and I've watched the WWDC11 session on this, but perhaps I need to do that again.
