I respectfully disagree that the phrase {2007-01-02} has no meaning. It
defines a set of all revisions matching that date ... there is no
requirement that the initial set be ordered to determine membership in the
named subset .... that's why all relationship DBMS have the ability to
create an index on the fly of most any field of a collection of records.
Ordering the original set persistently to determine sub-set membership is
only an optimization.

You're still focused on the implementation. The implementation is not
the problem.
{2007-01-02} has *no meaning* if revisions are not linearly
date-ordered.
