Brilliant. Well done. Thank You!

It all looks very useful and intuitive.

I think we need to make the existence of the revisions more prominent -
for me having them down the bottom of the page below the fold makes them
hard to find.

Maybe a link in the quicklinks list to the revisions for this post.

I haven't had a chance to dig into the code but do the post revsions
support the following use cases:

1) Contributor updating a post which has been published by an editor
without the changes going live before an editor has reviewed them.

2) The ability to pin the public version of a post/page on an old
revision to allow for the generation of new content without it going live.

3) A way to "one-click" make live a number of changed pages which have
been generated by (2).

It would be good to see these in the core to allow for CMS style usecases.
