i think it's because the DB fields for versioning are in the extension 
tables. So if you want to have your extension prepared for versioning you 
have to add this fields.

that may be difficult.
Disabling the UI should be easy. backend.php needs to ask a module for 
rendering the WS selector, list view can be modified to show the icon only 
if WS is active, clickmenu has to be modified too.
