Complex?? Can you figure out how your Windows Explorer shell or
KFMClient arrange their files/folders?? It's not more complex than that.

File versioning needs to be separate from property versioning. The
properties tell the system how to manage the file or describe it a bit
more. The actual content of the file could be anything from the
super-secret code for nuclear weapons to my grandmothers chocolate chip
cookie recipe. It's immaterial to the properties. I would want to see
when someone changed the properties on either file, separate from the
content.
