Thanks for your comments. I agree there are usability issues in the
interface that need to be addressed. Any specific observations
about what you found confusing would be much appreciated.

Yes, and one of the article 'extra' fields was conscripted to hold
the id of the version that the current version is based on directly.

Speed is definitely an issue. Right now the document is scanned twice when
called: once to establish the context for each component in the relevant
version, and again for display. I suppose this will get faster when PHP4
is integrated with Midgard, but some form of caching of document context
parameters would also help.
