I don't say it is not possible at all.
It is not possible with workspaces (yet?).

and for the change in place:
I hate it to have multiple files with the same name but different 
content. on my sites as on every website.
if a new version is released give it a new name _including_ the version.

"I have a manual.pdf. on page 6 my manual says to use screw 16b and 
insert into hole 24b to fix the attachment" (Manual 1.0 of product A, 
filename: manual.pdf)

"I have a manual.pdf too. in my manual it says on page 7 I should use 
screw 14c and insert it into hole 28a to fix the attachment" (Manual 2.5 
of product B, filename: manual.pdf)

have you ever gathered extension manuals for a documentation of an 
installation?
they all are named 'manual.sxw', they are 'distinguished' by other 
pathes (typo3conf/ext/<extkey>/doc/manual.sxw) but no version in name or 
path.

and the other confusion:
if someone explicit wants the old manual (because he wants the matching 
manual to his old product) he has no chance to get it at all.
