Comment (by mark-k):

 I don't know if this is the proper place but IMO the revisions table at
 revisions.php suck. Hard to put the finger on exactly what sucks there but
 I guess that one of the bigger things is that it doesn't look and behave
 like other tables in WP.

 My suggestion is to have 3 coloumns in the table
  title - the title of the revision

  time - creation time of the revision

  author - the author of the revision.

 Actions should be shown on mouseover and include restore, select for
 compare, view. show, and delete.

 new action "Delete" - right now there is no interface to delete a
 revision. not sure if it is on purpose or just an omission (maybe a
 revision contained some content I prefer that it will not be even in the
 privacy of the DB)

 new action "View" - show the post/page as it will look on the front end if
 it was restored

 new action "Show" - show the content in the revision.php page without
 restoring it.

 Not sure about the "select for compare" but the current way of selecting
 revisions is ugly. why do I need to specify which is the new and which is
 the old when we have the revision date, and why should I be limited by the
 UI to a two way compare?

 If the resulting table is small then maybe it can be displayed instead of
 the current revision table displayed at the post & page editing pages.
