Description:
Currently the browser title bar (ie. the page title) is the same whether you're viewing the current version of a page or an old one.

eg. instead of saying "Cheese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia" it could say "Cheese [Revision: 18:26, March 17, 2009] - Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia".

Thanks.
