Excellent idea!

For each URL in the archive, there would potentially be a whole chain
of old versions, each accessible to the browser.  The default would
of course be the most recent one.

This seems to require a uniform way to append version identifiers to
URLs which does not risk name collisions.  How could this be done?

Has anything like this already been discussed?  (I'm new here.)
