Yes. In fact, this is pretty easy to do with revisions as well, but
your Xapian db could get large so you'd want to do some pruning sweeps
of old revisions after a while. (Having said that, for admin users to
be able to search through *all* revisions of something would be
neat. With the CMS document identifier as a value you could collapse
on it, too.)
