Actually I was wrong. You can't delete individual revisions eg. /slide/history/33/1.1 but you can delete the _entire_ set of revisions at once by deleting the collection /slide/history/33. This may be enough for me assuming that this also cleans up the metadata in the version tables.

Maybe the version history record can be deleted along with the delete of the resource? Maybe configurable with a switch in Domain.xml? Would you want to propose a patch for this?
