David Baron on versioning
David Baron of Mozilla has
chimed in
on a topic
near and
dear to much of the work we do at Coactus. It looks like it’s part one of a series; I look forward to the rest.
One observation; it looks like David’s using the term “versioning” to mean what I call “explicit versioning”, where the consumer of the document needs to know what “version” the document is in order to understand it. I think that’s an important difference between the general versioning problem which can have “no explicit versions” as a solution. I haven’t looked at the latest draft TAG finding to understand that view, but I suspect they use the term similarly to how I use it.
Update; Stefan Tilkov finds that Arjen Poutsma says essentially the same thing.
