I think you may not understand my suggestion, as the DIP version would 
belong to the DIP as a reference to an wiki archive version. So the 
archive page would contain something like:

DIP 1 [...?action=archive&cmd=page&version=1.1&id=LanguageDevelopment/
DIPs/DIP1 Ver 1]
DIP 1 [...?action=archive&cmd=page&version=1.45&id=LanguageDevelopment/
DIPs/DIP1 Ver 2]

However I do concede that your method is completely reasonable.
