Why not one place being the authorative place? I mean, that's definitely
a use case as well. Imagine you have several publications online, 
including one legal publication. All publications quote the legal
publications, which is the authorative one. People with permissions to
edit that place may edit it, others may only refer to it.

But not always what you want, as the previous example shows, I think
