You know, we already have the ability to attach arbitrary unversioned
metadata to revisions.  And that's exactly the sort of "label" that
David Gale is talking about.  If we had the ability to search
revisions by querying revprops, we'd be done.  David could invent all
the revprops he wanted, and search on those revprops to locate
specific revision numbers.
