Jan I appreciate all your help on this.

It's an interesting concept.  I would have used predecessor-version to
specify the version that the working copy came from.  This does not work as
well in some systems that as mentioned creates a new version on checkin
rather than checkout.  In those systems the working copy and the version
the working copy came from are internally in that system the same.

I am okay with adding it.  It makes sense.  It reduces the overload on the
predecessor-version.  CMIS (and any other system) can leverage the new link
relation if desired.

I have no problems adding this; the reason it hasn't been proposed was
that apparently CMIS didn't have a use case for it.

Al, any opinion on this from a CMIS point of view?

Best regards, Julian
