I think what you want is a title like wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-02
with no revisions in Kavi at all. When you get to wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-03 you
would then move the old one to the other folder to reduce directory clutter.
I don’t believe there ever should be
more than one version of a doc like wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-nn. I would think any
check in would rev the nn. Otherwise how could line numbers stay consistent
after you edit on version of wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-nn and then check in another?
I can see the argument against using Kavi’s
versioning and not creating a single title like wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd and then only
displaying the nn within the doc (I would assume it should match the Kavi
revision number). Note that is how I am managing the issue list during this
migration to the stable url. However I can’t imagine someone really
wanting revision 05 vs. 07 of that but I definitely see the need for the specs.

titles and revision management
Currently in the WS-RX Editors SC area of Kavi we seem to
have adopted two methods of title/revision management. The WSRM spec has a
single title (WSRM 1.1 Editors Draft) that does not contain any details about
versions etc. Under this Kavi title you can find versions of both
wsrm-1.1-spec-04 and wsrm-1.1-spec-05 (the fault lies with me, I checked in the
first version of wd-05 under the same title).
The WSRMP spec, on the other hand, is titled
"wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-01.sxw". Under this title you will only find
versions of wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-01. Umit informs me that, when
wsrmp-1.1-spec-wd-02 is created, she intends to create a corresponding Kavi
title to be used for all versions of wd-02 and so on . . .
"What's it going to be then, eh?"
I'm leaning towards Umit's method since it makes it easier
to find individual wd-xx versions without having to dig through the history of
a single Kavi title. We can keep the "Calendar Documents" folder
clean by rolling off old titles into an "Old Titles" folder.
