I can't follow your last sentence above.  When is "becomeRevision" fired,
and for which objects?   Does this have to do with folderish objects?

So, you store revisions of an object as a property of that object?  If 
you can make sense of my diagram:

   Object  Attributes:
   MyDoc
        -> title
        -> body
        -> body_type

        -> Revision    Attributes:
                    -> title
                    -> body
                    -> body_type

What about Folderish Object?  Do you just clone the folder and it's 
contents, and make it the Revision attribute of the revised object?
