Two more ideas should make it possible to move elements and pages freely 
in an auto-versionied workspace:

Automatic creation of page versions of parent pages (source and target) 
when you move elements or pages.

And in case you want to have element versions you may want to add an 
auto-merge feature (element versions into page version) for the target 
page during a move operation.

So what needs to be done is to make a move an atmoic operations. AFAIK 
it's currently just two consecutive copy and delete operations.
