It should be applicable. The framework I sketched should be compatible with 
any object that is well represented by a simple bunch of properties, and a 
history entry seems to be nothing more than a "tuple" of (name, url, comment, 
rating, ...).

Should also be possible, if you apply it on a bunch of card objects with 
properties suit, position, etc.

You can have a look at the code already, it's in trunk/playground/games/kolf-
ng/engine/*state*, but note that the documentation is not very extensive and 
that saving the complete undo stack is not yet implemented. (It currently 
saves just the current states, but the extension to the complete stack should 
be trivial once I come to it.)
