I like the Site.Version idea. I wonder if it would be worthwhile
to try to integrate Cookbook.RecipeCheck as a component of Site.Version.
I'll have to think about that a bit.
But Neil's comment prompts me to yet another topic...

Administrators often want to restrict browse access to pages
in the Site.* group. The natural (and obvious) approach is
to place a read password on Site.GroupAttributes, but that's
often problematic because some pages in Site.* need read
access in order to work properly. These pages include:
Site.PageActions
Site.PageListTemplates
Site.LocalTemplates
Site.EditQuickReference
Site.UploadQuickReference
Site.PageNotFound
Site.SideBar
So, I'm thinking that perhaps the cleanest approach would be
to add special read passwords (similar to '@nopass') to the above
so that they can be accessed even when the Site group is
read protected.
Thoughts?
