Description Daniel Kinzler 2012-06-18 12:13:05 UTC 
This is not a bug or feature as such, but somethign to keep in mind:

Not all changes to items will be atomic. Even if only atomic edits are possible, there are at least two operations that can lead to multiple modifications to occur between consecutive revisions:

a) A revert or rollback. This can potentially change an item totally.

b) Hiding revisions. If an intermediary revision is hidden, the difference between the adjoining revisions becomes non-atomic.

So, do NOT assume that all edits are atomic!
