Comment (by koke):

 What we really need fro every use case I can think of right now:

 Case 1: create new post with gallery

 Create new post/revision as auto-draft. We need a post ID to attach images
 to, it can be via wp.newPost accepting 'auto-draft' as status or
 wp.newRevision

 Case 2: Preview of edits to an existing post

 Save a new revision without updating the regular post.  Both a flag to
 wp.editPost or a new wp.newRevision would do the job here

 Case 3: Preview of new post

 Save as draft, then preview. Nothing needed here

 Case 4: Conflict management

 a) Before save, request a list of revisions, check if there's a new one
 (not very efficient)

 b) Add a flag (or make it default behavior) to wp.editPost to return an
 error if there's a revision newer than post_modified_gmt

 Case 5: Autosave

 Save a revision, same as case 2 for existing posts. If post is auto-draft,
 a regular save would work too
