Mockup of different views, showing the local structure in as different |

ways as possible. |

|
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. |

Should we mention the following?: "These are not the only user interfaces |
