Hi Russell, The author is right.
If I open a TextEdit document, makes some changes to it and then select "Save As", then both documents end up with the new changes. The "Save As" document has no previous versions, but the original document now has a prior version available through the "Browse All Versions ..." menu item from the document header. I don't feel that that this is a problem for me, but it IS different from the previous behaviour of document saving prior to Lion and ML.
