To me it seems like having multiple versions around becomes an
information management problem.  Which is the correct version of a
document?  If the master is not in Daisy, and some people may be editing
the master and not even know about Daisy, then maybe Daisy should just
have a link to the master document on the network share instead of a
potentially outdated copy attached.  

On the other hand, this is really a decision for the actual user so
perhaps you are correct in your interpretation of not imposing too many
restrictions.  Then it just becomes a development resource question
since the two paradigms will have different features.
