Repeating a comment I've seen for other news items:

The Revision header is intended for machine-parsing use AFTER original 
release, in case an earlier release needed corrected and thus a revision 
other than 1.

As such, it should always be Revision: 1 when first released, and thus 
for all pre-release review postings, unless there has actually been a 
previous release and the review posting is actually reviewing a 
correction-revision of a previously released news item found to be in 
actual need of revision after release.

For those familiar with the news and mail header RFCs, think of the 
Revision header value greater than one as a Supersedes.  If the original 
was never released, there's nothing to supersede, and revision should 
always be 1.
