[uf-discuss] Versioned Documents

[James M Snell]

I've been playing around with this for Atom and there is no reason to 
think it wouldn't also work with hAtom.

Example:

<feed>
   ...
   <entry>
     <id>tag:example.org,2006:some_doc</id>
     <title>My Document</title>
     <link href="http://.../word.doc?rev=3" />
     <link rel="http://.../diff" href="http://.../word.doc?diff" />
     <link rel="http://.../replaces" href="http://.../word.doc?rev=2" />
     <link rel="http://.../history" href="http://.../word.doc?history" />
     <updated>2006-01-30T12:12:12Z</updated>
     <author><name>James</name></author>
     <x:revision>3</x:revision>
     <x:status>published</xs:status>
   </entry>
   <entry>
     <id>tag:example.org,2006:some_doc</id>
     <title>My Document</title>
     <link href="http://.../word.doc?rev=2" />
     <link rel="http://.../diff" href="http://.../word.doc?diff" />
     <link rel="http://.../replaces" href="http://.../word.doc?rev=1" />
     <link rel="http://.../history" href="http://.../word.doc?history" />
     <updated>2006-01-30T12:11:12Z</updated>
     <author><name>James</name></author>
     <x:revision>2</x:revision>
     <x:status>draft</xs:status>
   </entry>
   <entry>
     <id>tag:example.org,2006:some_doc</id>
     <title>My Document</title>
     <link href="http://.../word.doc?rev=1" />
     <link rel="http://.../history" href="http://.../word.doc?history" />
