These solutions are all reader-centric. For example, I write a post, you read it a minute after I click submit, then I revise it, then SI Ron comes along and reads it. For you, having read only the original version, I understand that having a blinking "revised" would be helpful. But for Ron, having never read the original, it's meaningless to know it was revised. For something to be reader-centric, you have to have client-side code (code specific to you, like Javascript, or more precisely AJAX) running. Even still, most of the time you'd be scratching your head wondering why a post was changed, putting the onus on the writer to have to indicate what he changed, bringing it full circle to the poster not SI.
