Hmm... I kind of disagree here, but it may be just lack of real world 
experience. Let me tackle this point by point:
* no filter support... ok, this may be, but remember you're giving
   up the ability to do mass updates this way.
   Like in update mytable set myatt = value where <here is the filter>
* no POST query... here you give up the ability to modify all but
   a handful of features at a time (GET is no good for big sized
   parameters afaik).
* GML comprehension and emission. Hem, you have to encode features that
   need to be inserted in a way that's agreed upon between the client
   and the server. How do you do that if you don't mandate a standard
   format? And I don't mean it has to be GML (see my other mail about
   the lack of standard format in WFS-simple).

Well, I could take some from the WFS spec and modify them to show 
versioning usage. Yet, a WFS extension follows its parent destiny: you
cannot just play with it "by example", you really have to code it with
an understanding of the WFS schemas. Examples are nice thought, I will
add some.
