Why are parties versioned? Human cloning is banned in most countries, and so far unsuccessful in the rest. Maybe for a Raelian EHR? Seriously, the attributes of a party change, but the identity of the party remains the same? Or is versioning just an easy way of incorporating the time domain into the model? If so, it is easy, but inefficient.
