I think undo/redo and versioning should become one. An explicit revision
would be a bookmark in the history.

Ideally the system would create some bookmarks automatically, for
example if the user shares the current state (without history) with
another user. Basically adding meta-data to the history.

Of course there would have to be some history flattening scheme.
