revised part undergoing revision has an official part out there somewhere,

If so that simplifys things I guess. What about part renumbers though?

One way to solve both these problems would be to include a comment line for each

When it becomes an official update simply swap out 'Revision' for 'Official
Update' or whatever. Each revision gets added to the top of the header so as you
scroll down you see the full revision history of the part.

Too Cumbersome?

Just my thoughts based on years of working with and revising CAD
models/drawings.*
