Arguably, R7RS is not a revision of R6RS (or R5RS, for that matter) in the sense of "one document created by augmenting and/or editing another", but more of an reorganization in that the original single report is now split into *two* reports. This introduces a whole new notion of conformance levels and what consitutes a Scheme implementation - which, I'd say, is a deep structural change. Calling this a "revision" is, in my opinion, a stretch.
