Something like that. I hope we can use the lessons of the new site 
version to teach us how this might work.

In interface terms, we'll need to do a bit of thinking about whether our 
intended users relate well to versioning concepts and terminology. I'm 
not characterising them as ignorant or unintelligent, I'm just unsure we 
know what they will enjoy.
