1. A method for execution by a computing device, the method comprises: receiving, in response to a revision level request, a most current revision value for a data element, wherein a revision value for the data element is generated based on a current time of a local clock of a storing device; generating a new revision value for a currently revised version of the data element based on a current time of a local clock of the computing device; comparing the current time of the new revision value with the current time of the most current revision value; and when the current time of the new revision value precedes the current time of the most current revision value: adjusting the new revision value to produce an adjusted revision value, wherein the adjusted revision value has an effective current time that succeeds the current time of the most current revision value; and facilitating storage of the currently revised version of the data element having the adjusted revision value.
