exactly. I want to get the picture of complexity before writing any code.

I'm not sure. Versioned records are not affected as long they are not 
published.
The only problem i see is if a page will be moved/deleted, as a page is 
a container for records, so in this case the versioned records are affected.

all logic should be done inside tcemain. This is the core of everything 
(naming says everything: Typo3 Core Engne)

the above mentioned "container" problem.
