By the way, I did find this URL:
VerSE: Towards Hypertext Versioning Styles 
 http://www.cs.unc.edu/~barman/HT96/P45/HT96HaakeHicks.html
with a section on task based versioning referencing PIE and also a
section entitled:
  "VerSE: A Flexible Version Support Environment"
Perhaps you could tell me if this represents the sort of thing you had
