Huh? I'm not handling workspaces... Actually I copied the original code 
from t3lib_page::getRecordOverlay(), but I didn't keep the part where it 
does version overlay:

$this->versionOL($table,$olrow);

I'm not really familiar with these constructs, but I'll take a look. It 
may be interesting to see which is best performance-wise (doing things 
MySQL-side or PHP-side).

Even with parameters such as mergeIfNotBlank?

Cheers
