Well, there's a "preview changes" button to avoid saving the edit, maybe some users should be taught to use it more often :)

Your proposal is a sensible one. But that change isn't straightforward, because it could create problems with edit conflict detection. Also, assume you save the current permalink to share that version of the page, and then the last editor changes the page again, the permalink will not reflect the text of the page at that revision (of course it isn't consistent currently because templates can also change). It would be also inconsistent in Special:RecentChanges to whoever reviewed an edit and then the edit is changed.

I'd also say that disk space is very cheap, specially for wikitext.

You may want to open a BUGREPORT for this (if none exists already).
