Will there be some versioning support on Skydrive?

Here is how I think about this. When I use the "old" model of sending files back and forth between authors via email, we automatically get versioning via the email attachments. If I send a file to Joe, and Joe really messes up with his edits, I can go back to the copy attached to the email.

Windows shares have crude versioning that allows one to go back in case a co-worker screws up (via shadow copies), Office Live Workspace has it, Sharepoint has it, Google Docs has it.

The basic reason is this: If you don't have some crude versioning story, the scenarios where you can use a shared folder model like Skydrive go down to VERY few cases. In essence you can then only use this with co-workers whom you blindly trust them to NEVER make any mistake to a document. I would guess that this is the case for about maybe 5% of cases where I collaborate with co-workers on a document. In all other cases I do want to work together with someone else, but I don't trust the person enough to hand him/her the only live copy of the document over. I would be too afraid that he/she makes a change I disagree with that I can then not undo anymore. I would require some way to go back to the version I worked on last.

If Skydrive doesn't have some versioning story, in my case this will mean that essentially I would stick with email files back and forth, soley for this backup reason. Also I think this would be a major step back from Office Live Workspace and also trail Google Docs in a significant way that will be an adoption barrier to all but the most trivial collaboration scenarios.
