62    
63    Mockup of different views, showing the local structure in as different
64    ways as possible.
65    
66    Also: Views are not versioned; the structure is.
67    Providing versioning information in the structure as *reflected*
68    information (Example!) makes it easier to build views
69    that can *show* the versioning, and allow the user
70    to merge different users' changes to a document.
71    
72    The views simply show whatever they see in the structure
73    around a given set of *focus* items.
