This was my immediate thought as well, but I'd probably cheat and declarr the document version numbers to be oureky decorative and thus the realm of userspace to turn them into 1,2,3,4,5 etc. -- one can, after all fix this with a single line of code.

Performance (and complexity) would be much better than triggers
