You do have to remember that pine is a soft wood and takes up moisture
very easily regardless of what finish is on the top so that the wood
will move throughout the year - a hard finish will therefore have the
potential to be weakened by this movement. Hard wood floors are less
susceptible to this. I also do like the idea of being able to repairs
to heavy use areas.

Oleo res is often used in school halls because it soaks in - stopping any
splinters - handy to keep little bottoms safe when Miss syas "sit down
everyone".
