Florent Guillaume commented on CMIS-728:
----------------------------------------

One important issue about the Latest Version is that for repositories where AllVersionsSearchable=false, then it's specified that only the Latest Version is searchable.
If the PWC is the Latest Version, this means that once somebody does a checkout, in general a search wouldn't be able to get to the Latest Version due to access restrictions. This goes contrary to the expectation that "private" work has no impact on general queries made in the repository. An application that lists documents would see one disappear in this case just because someone works on it.

> A concern has been raised in the OpenCMIS TCK about whether a PWC can have cmis:isLatestVersion=true.
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CMIS-431
> The difference of interpretation is whether or not a PWC has any characteristic of a version.
> For me, a PWC is not a version and (consequently) can never be considered the latest version.
> Florian has a different interpretation.
> This is not clear because the spec sometimes talks about "version" in a loose sense and says that the PWC is a kind of version. And also it sometimes hints at the fact that the PWC is part of the version series.
