Hi Graham,
Not demand; publishers aren't required to keep them.
It's also not about previous versions; it's about allowing them to catch up with entries (or changes to them) that they've missed.
IMO, this is one of the things that the Atom format can do to differentiate itself from RSS; it's really important. Please take a look before making a judgement.
Cheers,

I haven't had time to read the Pace properly yet, but browsing this thread it seems several people are trying to demand publishers keep previous versions of entries, and supply them on request. Why is this any of our business?
Huge -1 to Managing Feed State doing anything beyond codifying current feed best-practice.
