Thanks Gregor and yes, you are right. I didn't think about your suggestion before, sorry. The fact is that I wrote a script running on the pages-meta-current.xml because it is much smaller and manageable but, you are right: I can use the revision of the page I'm interested that is in pages-meta-history.xml
Thanks for the suggestion! P.
