If that level of detail is of interest to you (XQuery into the details of
versioning),
you might want to take a look at MarkLogic.    It has a complete document
management system built in,
including versioning.

Hi,

Yes, I think that being able to run queries against versioned data is one of
the main motivations for having a versioning system tailored to XML.

The XQuery world provides a very good basis for this: for instance, the
XQuery Update Facility defines Pending Update Lists, and these are perfect
for diffs. Also, the XQuery and XPath Data Model has the concept of node
identity, of which the versioning system can keep track.

Kind regards,
Ghislain
