Yaron,
I think it's a much more complex question as data should not only be visible
in one state, but in two states - for logged in users it is shown in latest
version and to everybody else in only flagged version which means that SMW
should start distinguishing between those two versions effectively storing
two datasets or a dataset with two states for each triple.
I think as intermediary solution, administrator should be able to pick which
one he wants, stable or latest, but to mimic the full functionality, both
states of data should be saved (sounds scary).
Thank you,
Sergey
