Suggestion: I think it would be useful to add a param like the 
"generate.legalnotice.link" to the stylesheets to do the same for 
revisionhistory. Something like:
<xsl:param name="generate.revisionhistory.link" select="1"/>
The revision history would be generated as a separate page with a link from 
the index page as is possible with legal notice.
