Ooops.  It turns out my preceding message just parroted Jim's subsequent
message (i.e. the request/plea to compromise).  Sorry about the repetition.

   From: Chris Kaler <ckaler@microsoft.com>

   ... I'm right there with you, if we can have parallel checkouts
   and non-tip checkouts for level 1 clients.

It sounds like a key issue is parallel development at level 1.
I believe a Workspace can be treated at level 1 as the kind
of checkout token that Chris wants, and optional helper methods 
can be defined that make it act like the checkout methods that
Bruce wants.  This would then all be compatible with the extended
use of a Workspace at level 2 for revision-selection purposes.

I'll try to write something up along these lines sometime next week.

Cheers,
Geoff
