Thanks for the tip.
Yes, the HistoricalRevisions subsystem looks interesting.
Im not sure it solves my problem though, in that the revisions seem to be
for a single given object, rather than for a given subtree or site. They
certainly dont seem to apply to folderish objects.
For my application, making read-only restrictions on time-travel is
perfectly acceptable, so I dont believe that paradoxes are of concern.
Anyone have any suggestions about where to start with this?
