Hi devs,
I propose we add the following method to DocumentModelBridge:
/**
   * @return a string identifying the current version of this document
   */
String getVersion();

...
+0.75
Or, I could add a DocumentVersion class in the bridge and instead have:

/**
  * @return the document version
  */
DocumentVersion getVersion();

In this case we have to decide how to create a DocumentVersion instance 
and how to serialize it. The easiest way is:

1) new DocumentVersion(String) + DocumentVersion#toString()

and the elaborate way is:

2) DocumentVersionFactory + DocumentVersionSerializer

WDYT? Is it worth to add the DocumentVersion class now when we don't 
have a real need?

Thanks,
Marius

I need it for the WYSIWYG sync plug-in service. I'm refactoring the code
to use components and I want to drop the dependency on xwiki-core.
Getting the document version is the last thing that stops me.
Here my +1.
