I needed a new 'administer revisions' permission so users don't have to have the 'administer nodes' permission in order to be able to delete a revision. I patched this module by changing 'administer nodes' by 'administer revisions' along with a patch for node.module (http://drupal.org/node/124076). Nice to take in mind if finally that patch to node.module gets applied or if anyone else would like to have deletion permission on revisions without having to give full admin nodes permission.

In order to use revision_moderation with the patch to node.module mentioned above, which will allow users with proper permissions to create revisions without having to have the administer nodes permission, I use this patch along whith a new module I will post today, which allow users to post revisions of node's bodies only, this is, they only have access to change the body of the node. This way, a user might post a new revision of the body of a node without having to have too many admin permissions or be the author of the post.

This is the new module mentioned: body revision module

Hm. Sorry. I want to interact with core's offering; a patch that requires a patch to core is not something I'd like this module to require.

I agree. That's why I said it would be nice to take in mind in case that patch to node got finally applied. More than a feature request I wanted to post a comment.
