This is part of the workspace feature, which is optional. Shouldn't  
this be
part of the general VERSION-CONTROL semantics? I don't think you need  
the
workspace feature for this behaviour.

I have not suggested that the version history become the child of a
version-controlled folder. The request URI of the BIND would be the  
child
and from the resource-id the version history would be inferred.
