That might be getting too complicated. How about a footnote or note inset
that reads: "Revision $Revision$ of file $RCSfile$, last checked in by
$Author$ on $Date$."?
I could swear that one of the docs or example files used to have a TeX mode
$Id$ line in the old days.

Right. Although the date might be a bit misleading. Just because someone
fixed a typo, doesn't mean that the document is really "up to date" for
that date. Maybe we shouldn't have a date on the document, since people can
look in the footnote for the version information.
