I recently discussed this with Chmrr. My idea was to have an update system for root nodes. It would require two new fields for root nodes (Last Modified, Note ID) and an additional table. One would be presented with a textarea to make an ammendment to the node, this entry would be timestamped and stored in the Note ID table. Last Modified and Note ID in the root node table would be updated. Subquent updates would be prepended to the existing note. When the root node is displayed the note would be prepended to the node body when displayed. Finally, Newest Nodes could pick up on touched Last Modified fields.
