 When posting via Windows Live Writer to my 3.0.1 blog, I see a pretty big
 bug with revisions, compared to when posting via WP's interface.

 Here's the problem: after updating a post with a few drafts between
 multiple authors, the draft history/compare page has all the names shifted
 in a really weird way. The first revision never gets into the list, the
 2nd revision gets added as a 1st revision (the author of the 1st revision
 is shown as the author of the 2nd revision at this point), etc. It's an
 off-by-one problem.

 I think it's easiest to understand the problem by looking at these 2
 screenshots:

 Test using WLW (Wave beta 4 but I don't think it matters) to post:

 Test using WP's online interface to post:

 In both cases, I have tested in the following manner:
  1. Create the first draft using user Artem
  1. Edit the draft using user test
  1. Look at the post again using user Artem in WP - what you will see is
 pictured above.

 Looking at the database entries, the 2 methods seem to follow an entirely
 different flow, with 3 rows for WP's method and 2 rows for WLW.

 Such wrong revision presentation actually confused me quite a bit when
 trying to compare revisions to figure out which author made a certain
 change. I blamed the wrong one :-]

 I hope I've explained this clearly.

 Thank you.
