attached. Better
"Last Modified: Saturday May 08, 2004, by userid"
or
"Last Modified: userid, on Saturday May 08, 2004"
?
I chose the last one here. Comments?

you're right, sorry

a requirements sheet is a brief of text saying what the system is 
expected to do.
Thinking a bit about what wicked does currently it could be like
"The system hosts a set of documents (nodes). There are two kinds of 
clients:
"users" and "guests".
Users can browse, create, edit and delete nodes. Guests can browse 
nodes.
For each page its "original" version is saved. Then, any version 
produced by
user's modification must be kept available for future access.
...
"
(should be completed, and the fact that user and guest's permissions 
are customizable
should be described)


ERD is Entity-Relationship Diagram. They are a useful model for 
conceptual
database design which let you design how to organize at best a db with 
very
little effort, so I think it could very much worth the job.
