Programs like alias maya have a feature called history where every step made to a 3d model is saved, so that you can go back in time at any point. (www.alias.com).
I think for now we just should stick with lots of undo, or preference based amount of undos, but should be a strong feature to implement in the future.
Ohh, you mean saving the undo history in the file. Yeah, that's worth some thought...
Thinking about it, embedding the editing history in an XML document should actually be pretty trivial.
I guess the only question is whether users would mind the (potentially considerable) space it could take up.
Hmm, one interesting problem would be is if the document were edited in an external tool in such a way as to render the edit history partially invalid. Recovery strategies for that might prove interesting (but probably not intractable)...
