Something that I never really understood is the 
usefulness of @rev and the corresponding revprops element in DITAVAL. 
Traditional versioning (CVS/ClearCase/Subversion/etc) operates at the file 
level, which means we do version diffs at the topic level at best. Having 
revision markers down to the phrase level always seemed unmanageable to me: most 
versioning software would not support that. We just end up using using 
versioning software to get 2 revisions of a DITA file (topic) and diffing those 
with an XML differ to generate revision markup.
 
How 
do you (and IBM) use @rev/revprops?
 
Chris
