I stand corrected. This is indeed the case. I got confused because I  
made test edits with multiple browsers.

So now we are down to just one problem:

The obvious way would be to re-run all the relevant queries and  
compare to the previous results.

It seems a pity that there's no way to get the value of  
mwLastWriteTime from a Javascript app.

Or am I missing something?
