You're right, I also stumbled upon that. Although I disagree with the
very last point, for the open beta, the current version is completely
OK.

The text still needs some tweaking anyhow. In the case that the
current version is reviewed/sighted, the text tates for IPs: "This is
the latest sighted revision, approved on 1 February 2008. The draft
can be modified; 0 changes await review. (+/-)". This should be
changed to "This is the current version. It is sighted/reviewed,
approved on 1 February 2008.", since the confusing part are the 0
changes awaiting review and it is much shorter. I don't know about the
icon-based case.

For users, the current text is "The latest sighted revision (list all)
was approved  on 1 February 2008. 0 changes need review. (+/-)", which
should be changed to the same: "This is the current version. It is
sighted/reviewed, approved on 1 February 2008." By the way, what is
the reasoning for users and IP seeing different text?

Best,

Philipp
