Description:
Feature request:

When a user is logged in, their edits to the base content are only visible to
them. Users can allow their edits to be publicly visible if desired (and the
site admin enables this). Content pages would show how many publicly available
user edits are previewable (to see a users' "public view enabled" content pages,
and the diffs etc).

Sysop edits to base content may cause conflicts, however the user will have
access to the old base content and their revision. It's encouraged they migrate
their changes to the current revision, but they don't have to.

If visitors have cookies enabled (and the site admin enables this), visitors can
see their own edits. However, they are encouraged to login or create an account
to merge the changes into their profile. Diffs would be pinned against the
revision they made it to. If they have existing diffs, the newest modify date
takes presidence. For example, when two edits are made against the any
revision, the most recent saved edit is visible. This really only takes effect
because anonymous users may or may not have existing accounts. When their edits
are merged between accounts, this is how it's resolved.

If I'm not making any sense, please ask for clarification. This feature will
allow posted content on my sites to be annotated by users. They can elect to
retain privacy on their edits, or expose them for public view.

Thank you.
