I would definitely be interested in a revision to Atom Syndication
Format Revision Tracking [1] to work better with Atom Tombstones [2],
and also Link Relation Types for Simple Version Navigation between Web
Resources (RFC 5829) [3].

I'd be curious to hear how you are using the extension in the work you
are doing, if you had a blog post in you, or if it could be posted
here. Being able to express version relations on the web is very
important for digital library applications.
