I don't think adding comments should increment the version, while
adding tags, perhaps, should. Tags are an attribute of the document,
in that they classify the document text.  Comments are not part of the
document content, are often edited separately (by the comment author),
and can be deleted.  The sticky issue is that attached objects are
stored as part of the versioned content in the archive...

How are changes that don't bump the version currently handled RE:
archive? (sorry for being ignorant w/ this part..)
