May be I miss here something important, (or you are talking about a
feature yet to be implemented) but I just did that evil thing we are
discussing. I went to a discussion page, which contained 2 comments,
mine and one from another author. I "bravely" deleted the final dot of
his last sentence, using an external editor.
And no when I later looked at it from show different versions I could
see the chanced but the time stamp you mentioned I could not see,
either it that display nor in the source file.
Another important point. Recently I wrote a comment in another
discussion page (that one quite huge), again using an external
editor. By accident it seems that I changed the coding of the page so,
some non ASCII symbols changed. Now you might say that this is the
danger which may occur also when I edit an article, however I consider
it more annoying in a discussion, where my intention was just to add a
single comment.
Conclusion in a discussion page every comment should be protected
somehow.
