Here is a small hack that may prove useful: a variant of the raw view where you also see the raw metadata. Apply the attached view_rawmeta.patch: patch to bin/view script

Can be useful to rollback versions (including forms) by users

Use: by appending ?meta=on to the url.

can be proposed as a checkbox in templates/oopsmore.tmpl by adding the red text at line 30:

<form name="main" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%">
  * *View previous topic revision:*
     * Revision: <input type="text" name="rev" size="6" value="%PARAM2%" />
       in <input type="checkbox" name="raw"> raw text format,
       with <input type="checkbox" name="meta"> metadata
       <input type="submit" value="View revision" />
     * Revisions: 1.1 ... %PARAM1%
</form>

TWiki already support setting ?raw=debug if you want to see the meta data. Is this what you require?
