Comment(by solarissmoke):

 Okay, let me try to explain my point of view:

 Currently, all other calls for edit_post (in wp_insert_post() and
 wp_publish_post() ) are when post content has changed.

 There are many instances where you might want to know when a post has
 visibly changed (e.g., post content or approved comments have changed) -
 for example for email notifications or cache invalidation. But you would
 not want to trigger such events if the change does not affect what is
 visible on the site (e.g., a spam comment was trashed).

 If edit_post isn't mean to reflect visible changes to a post, perhaps we
 might introduce a new action that is? -- "post_changed", or something like
 that?
