I elaborated a bit about "historical revisions".  I've also chatted with
jim, briefly, during which he pointed out a few compelling reasons that
using historical versions is painful, so i mentioned them in my proposal,
and added a few other options.  One of those is along the lines that shane
was suggesting.

One lesson here is that it's valuable for these proposals to concentrate
on "what", identifying clearly what needs to be done (and why), and
leaving the "how" for implementation.  I think both shane and i moved too
quickly to mixing in how in our proposals (casual or not), muddying the
waters.
