BTW, I used a combination of revision IDs and timestamps, because you told me the revision IDs can get out of order through deleting/undeleting revisions, and I wanted them in correct order no matter what. If revision IDs suffice, great.
Ee. What happens if we delete a page then restore all but one version? Do the validates become off by one?
The validation data itself refers to the revision ID only, so no problem there.
The time plus ID thing is only for the sorting of the revisions. You can say "merge all may old validations for this article into the current version". For that, it needs to determine "older versions". That's all.
