Got it. Well, I personally like "pending revisions", as I said (bit
long for a tab label, but oh well). Can it go to the other side of the
history tab though, so it doesn't show up before the edit tab when
reading across? (I'm sure there's an argument to be made both ways,
but I'd expect a new feature to show up as the last tab in standard UI
design).  Where will it go in Vector?

best,
