Grace period for immediately noticed small errors
Sometimes I will compose a lengthy post, submit it, see it in context and immediately notice a typo - no matter how careful I thought I was being. I'm not sure it's desirable that, when I go to fix it immediately, the revision is recorded in the post's history. I could of course use the Redact feature, but that seems abusive. An immediate edit like this Somewhere Else would not be recorded separately; there is a grace period of, IIRC, five minutes before an edit is recognized as actually revising the post. Would it be desirable to follow that example here? Or do we see a benefit in preserving the original version and typo-fix separately?
