Hm, I thought originally you thought that all attributes should get time stamps.

I guess I need more on your implementation plan, to wit:

1. Are attributes to be time stamped?  If so, and we use
key=binaryattribute-timestamp, we get a lot of overhead space taken up
with the keys.

2. If objects only are to be time stamped, will that be in the object
body or in a separate object again with key=binaryattribute-timestamp
(and more space overhead for keys).

I guess I need more on your ideas for binary attribute implementation.

Agree.

For sure.  I guess we could put it back into MS Word format, but
looks-wise that would be a downgrade.

Cheers!
