I only had a chance to have a quick look at the changes in Bonsai, 
but I do not think this will work: when in revisions mode all changes 
of attributes and properties must be made translated solely into the 
revision attribute, i.e., setProps("font-face:Arial") has to 
translate into 
    "revisions=!1{}{font-face:Arial}"
not into
    "revisions=!1{}{font-face:Arial} props=font-face:Arial"
the latter is what I got the impression your changes do. If we change 
the actual props and attributes, we will not be able revert to the 
previous state.
The attributes and props contained in the revisions attribute get 
overlayed over any base props and attrs when the layout accesses its 
props and attributes; this done through 
PD_Document::explodeRevisions() and is taken care of automatically by 
fl_Layout::getAP() and getSpanAP(). Access to all props and 
attributes by the layouts has to be made through these two functions; 
what the layouts must not do is to obtain their AP index, retrieve 
the AP by that index and then evaluate props and attrs of that AP.
