I''m open to ideas. I have of course ran into this, but have not found
a satisfactory solution. Perhaps you could extend the way AR deals
with extensions to set and look for version as well as foreign key.
I''m open to suggestions, and patches :) The RDocs do have links to my
collaboa instance and subversion repo if you want to take a stab.
