That's  all right, it was just funny to see you came out with the same idea
:)  We  actually spent some time investigating various concepts and the one
we  chose  seemed  to  have least drawbacks: the database remains "clean" -
xpath,  document  retrieval  etc - these are all transparent, which was out
goal.

Nonetheless,  I  would  love  to  see  a  standard  API  for versioning and
metadata, and it seems many other people seem to crave for it, not only me.
It  may  be quite easy to walk around the problem, but since the project is
open  source, it should perhaps be taken into account what the actual users
need,  not  only  what  is the 'ideal path', which Xindice should follow ;)
Just my remark, nothing personal.
