We are facing a similar issue ourselves. We are torn between implementing multiple workspaces or a single workspace primarily because of the nature of the query interface. Since the query interface is a method of the workspace it is only possible to search a workspace and not the entire repository. David Nuescheler has pointed out that it is possible to search the entire version store, but this requires that nodes are actually versioned.
Choosing between simplifying search across the repository and the additional functionality of correlating version sets between workspaces, we are currently choosing simplified search and single workspace. We are trying to figure out a way to get both. Will this affect TCK compliance? Will this be an optional part? What are other people's experiences with multiple workspaces?
