I can't even access half the published papers I want to read, so I suspect the scientific community will need to solve that problem (ie how to throttle the publishers) before any thought of allowing versioning and revisions to papers.
As well, how would references work? Citations would have to reference a specific version of every paper, which could potentially create a huge mess.
But I totally agree that change needs to come to the way scientific papers are published and accessed, and this is one of the better ideas I've seen out there.
