Hi Ries, thanks for your reply! :)

We've discussed this at a meeting today, and the end result is that we're
not going with versioning on the items, only on the "regular" content. The
overhead in doing so would simply be too immense (a lot of changes happen
very often), and my boss has previously worked with IBM in some nightmarish
project to manage versioning data which has marked him bad :) The need for
versioning on the items turns out to be not so big anyway, as it's mostly
based on bad experiences with the previous system design, which will be
fixed anyway during this project.

Thanks for the help though :)
