    No, but I just don't think of it that way. That is, I don't think of the
    workspace as just a bunch of revisions, but rather versioned resource and
    some revision of those resources. Either could change independently of the
    other. I can see that your approach would work too, its just that it might
    be useful to retain the knowledge about which versioned resources you are
    interested in separately so you can change the revision without changing
    the versioned resource. For example, you might want to just change the
    label, activity, or configuration, and not have to change the versioned
    resource too to select a different revision.

       I think we need two concepts for a workspace - the versioned
      resources that specify its scope or members, and the RSR which
      picks the revision.
    
    If a workspace tracks the revisions it selects in a DAV:revision-set
    property, is there any need for a set of versioned resources
    to define its scope (since the revisions effectively define the
    set of versioned resources)?
    
    Cheers,
    Geoff
