My proposal is at first just to reserve the field name and keep the
use optional.  Then we can start experimenting with tiddler history.
I think the history should be kept in the tiddler primarily. Because
the tiddlers can be forked etc., it will be like a DVCS.  This needs
development of a good ui to actually use the history and development
of the code.  This is non trivial and I would not burden all uses of
tw with it.  Maybe this can be best done with a plugin and/or
serverside.  But the important thing is there is a standard field for
it. Obviously we also need to think about dropping part of the history
(maybe through server persistence), otherwise tiddlers can get too
large.

It get's us distributed authoring of tiddlers, e.g. distributed
building of documentation.  We can have distributed todo lists.
Imagine one of MonkeyPirateTiddlyWiki, mGSD,D-Cubed, TeamTasks,
TiddlyPackingList, tbGTD used by a team, online and offline and
optionally distributed by email.
Imagine mix-match-patch writing of stories.
