Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-441:
-------------------------------------------
My original thoughts were that this would be a pretty thin wrapper that would
mutate a single document when putting. Adding the ability to work with
arbitrary data and return arbitrary responses changes the game somewhat.
I'd disagree pretty strongly with using _show because the basic intent is quite
different.
The other thing I just realized is that there's also no way to use the current
scheme with _bulk_docs.
Things to think about.
> Finally implement pre-write-doc-edit handlers.

> It would be useful for auditing to have the identity of the user who inserted
> a new revision and the timestamp of the operation to be inserted in the
> document in the same way that the new revision number is.
> Doing this at the application level is not adequate since it would be readily
> spoofable and would bypass the authentication handler.
> There is a comment in couch_db:update_docs about generating new revision ids,
> but I couldn't quite comprehend what specific code was responsible for
> inserting the id into the document.
