my proposal as a first thougt is to keep the workspaces in own tables 
for pages and content eg (pages_ws_nameit, tt_content_ws_nameit)

1) on creation of a new workspace (demo) create the corresponding tables
pages_ws_demo, tt_content_ws_demo, language overlays, ...

2) copy livecontents form selectes pages/branch to the ws table

3) create/delete/move/edit whatever there

4) update live tables on publishing.

thats easy, eh ;) ?


i must state im not very familiar with workspaces and versioning at the 
moment, so maybe the above mentioned is a bad idea - or most probably 
too late to do it this way.

thx for your attention
