Sure, I've already played with something similar, and it *sounds* easy, but there are far too many places to take care of this and think about all the implications, and there's a schedule to meet. I also think it's kind of a lame way to prevent edits. Like the way TextEdit does it; you see the change take place, but then it instantly blinks back to the way it was before. It's *very* un-Mac-like and feels extremely half-baked. It's a lot of work just get version browsing, which is a brand new feature that most customers are not using. Everyone forgets that tons of users don't and/or can't upgrade their OS just because Apple released a new one.
