Hi,

I have been trying to make some elements that support versioning. Im
thinking of compared to databases, a nested table. I want an element contain
old versions of the same element, ie. I don’t want to delete old content.


An example (not proper XML syntax):
<parahraph>
	<text id="aParagraph" version="2">
		This is a new text.
	</text>
	<text id="aParagraph" version="1">
		This is atext.
	</text>
</paragraph>

Multiple elements cannot share id's, but how should I do this? What is the
best way?
