This is a common error. While not entirely intuitive, AFAIK revision is
a post-publication value and should remain revision 1 unless a correction
is needed once published.
Perhaps it is time to formally change that. Reading software must be
prepared to deal with first-seen values greater than 1 in any case, since
a user might not have seen the original revision, and history has
repeatedly demonstrated that people want to bump the revision number
during initial discussion. So why not simply let it be bumped, and let
the first published version be what it may? If necessary, further bumps
can happen from there.
Tho in practice, very likely as a result of the pre-publishing approval
process including discussion here, AFAIK no such post-publishing
correcting revision has ever been necessary. But that's not to say it
won't /ever/ be necessary, so having the ability is certainly a good
thing. =:^)
Either that or start out with a pre-publishing version of 0.1 and bump
that, changing it to 1 on initial publish.
