I think I'm saying something similar to what Elias said when he wrote:

"If we only had one metadata file then on every save we can generate
[revision-id]-meta.xml. Then we don't have to worry about building 
revision
specific IDs."

If a triple changes, you can create a new named graph that includes the 
new document version number in its URI and save the statement there.

I was just asking Elias to confirm that the solution to the versioning 
problem is actually simple if we have:

a) the named graphs
b) the document and version IDs

We don't actually need to worry about version-iding specific nodes.

Will let Elias confirm that (or not).
