Key version numbers

Explore key version numbers as an alternative to promises (temporary bindings, in the terminology here).

By key version numbers you mean sth. like having counters in the leafs for different key versions, right?

Thanks! Hmm, interesting. So basically, yes, this is a counter. The second idea is storing all different versions of the key in the leaf-node. Do you know if there is a more complete write-up/spec/rfc of this ideas published somewhere? Neither google's end2end project nor the trillian related white-paper seem to mention it.

@jcb82 would be the one to ask.

I had already asked Joe about this before: #13 (comment)

My main concern remains the idea of maintaining a full history tree in each leaf node.
