I just deposited a new draft of the versioning spec at the location in the
subject
line of this message.
It still has a variety of rough edges (soggy edges? :-), but it does include
the
elaborations on the methods mailed in by JimW/JeffM/BradS (thanks!!!).
I've also tried writing up a variety of the issues that have been discussed
on
the mailing list, just to see how they look in black and white.
In particular, I added a "repository" section to give us a handle on
versioned
resource and revision URL's, I got rid of "history resources", and now use
a special value of the Target-Selector header to look at the underlying
properties of a versioned resource (suggested by JimA).  I tried splitting
the Target-Selector header into a Workspace and a Revision-Selector
header, but in the end decided that I agreed with Tim, and put them back as
just one header.  I elaborated the CHECKIN method a bit, and while I was
in there, collapsed the UNCHECKOUT method into the CHECKIN
method (there already was a IDENTICAL-UNCHECKOUT, so an
unconditional UNCHECKOUT was pretty natural).  And lots more stuff ... (:-).

So if anyone has a chance to read it before the standard Monday 2pm
versioning conference call, that would give us something to discuss.
The call is at the usual number and passcode ... I'll try to remember to
send
out a reminder tomorrow morning.

Cheers,
Geoff

p.s. If you want to make sense of the ascii art, you'll probably want to
look
at the .doc version instead of the .htm version ... don't have a .txt
version
prepared yet.
