Re: updates to PAQ doc for discussion

Jim,

I could not follow the example you gave, as I don't know what the 
semantics of the edges is. Do they refer to IVPof.

(To keep going, D derivedFrom C wouldn't automatically make D a version/IVPof A, so one can't just infer versionOf from derivation, etc.)
In that case, I would defined VersionOf as a subrelation of DerivedFrom, 
instead of IVPof.
