    The workspace has a current label property this is automatically applied to
    the resource when it is checked in. This label should be in the workspace
    revision selection rule. If the client is using activities, the current
    activity can play this same role.
    
    If the workspace is being used as a checkout token, then the client is
    completely responsible for all revision selection and would have to know
    the stable URLs to do this. I think at the last design team meeting we
    agreed that these URLs would be returned by versioning methods that created
    them.

    It would seem useful to return the stable URL of resources from a number of
    operations, including CHECKIN, since if the revision that was CHECKIN'ed is
    not selected by the workspace then it disappears.
    
    A workspace that selects purely on labels for example would be in trouble.
    They can't label the working resource, and after CHECKIN the revision has
    to be found via the versioned resource revision-set to be labeled.
