Comment (by knutsp):

 I think this could be implemented this way:

 Copy the published post to a new post with the original as ancestor, not
 as a revision, but as a copy (a new status?). Such post are seen as posts
 and can be edited separately, with revisions, except for the slug.

 When a copied post is published, the original post and all its revisions
 are merged into revisions of this. The new, published post takes the same
 slug/name as the original.

 The post_id will be different. Maybe only expose this feature when pretty
 permalinks are used.
