 This isn't quite right.

 First, it seems to me that some keys (like thumbnail id) should be
 revision specific (although this might open up another can of worms - I
 find it disturbing that selecting a new thumbnail immediately updates a
 published post without clicking "update").

 Second, many developers use the prefix to prevent meta data from showing
 up int he free form "custom fields" meta box.

 I think @mintindeed is more on the right track, explicitly ignoring
 certain keys, in a filterable way.

 Are there any other keys we're missing that need to be attached to the
 "real" post?
