I consider the storage simple enough that it doesn't warrant its own data type (especially since Perl can handle the job above the hood) but the treatment potentially complex and different enough (or at least the common uses of said data numerous enough)that it should have at least it's own module if not it's own tree (to allow various different adaptations for versioning schemes)...again version.pm.
