    We spent most of the time discussing topic 3, i.e. should stable URL's
    be in basic or advanced versioning.  JimW made the point that the ability
    to have a URL to a particular revision was a core capability, and that
    currently stable URL's are the only mechanism we have to provide this
    functionality to versioning unaware clients.
    
    Although it was generally agreed that this was an important capability,
    the concern was that maintaining a stable URL space could be difficult
    enough to provide a barrier to easy implementation of the core versioning 
    protocol.
    
    JimW made the additional point that he does not feel that the stability
    of the URL (i.e. it being unchangeable) was not what was required, e.g.
    if you moved the versioned resource, it would be fine for the revision URL's
    to no longer work.
    
    So it looks like we have two different issues: what resources have stable
    URL's,
    and are there (potentially unstable) URL's that give a downlevel client
    access
    to an arbitrary revision.

    Agenda:
    
    - If we unify the concepts of a workspace and a
    configuration, should the result be called a workspace
    or a configuration?
    
    - Is a baseline just a checked in workspace?
    
    - Should "stable URL's" be in basic versioning or
    should they be introduced in advanced versioning?
    
    - Questions from Tim's email
