    Subject: State of versioned resource, history resource
    
    After reading through the -05 draft:
    
    > http://www.webdav.org/deltav/protocol/draft-ietf-deltav-versioning-05.htm
    
    I was left wondering about what constituted the state of a versioned
    resource, and a history resource.  It seems that there are two choices:
    
    a) A versioned resource contains all of the revisions (by reference), and
    holds all of the pred/succ relationships, and contains any working resources
    (by reference) associated with the versioned resource.  The history resource
    also has these same state items, which are a duplicate of the items on the
    versioned resource.
    
    b) A versioned resource only holds a pointer to the history resource.  The
    history resource contains all of the revisions (by reference), and holds all
    of the pred/succ relationships, and contains any working resources (by
    reference) associated with the versioned resource.
    
    c) Neither (implying I've misunderstood things).
    
    I'm curious as to which was intended.
