Hi Phoebe,

We considered going in that direction.  The tough part about it is that the
name goes against the grain of what we want to use in the UI.

Take a look at this page:

We're planning to change label of the "Pending changes" tab to "Pending
revision", since what people will see when they visit that tab is the
pending revision, not the diff against the old version.  The nice thing
about then naming the feature itself "Pending Revisions" is that it aligns
with what people will see as the most prominent feature of the UI.
