In a sense, you as a player are in fact a revisable object, 
since you have various states and attributes that periodically 
change, and corrections may sometimes need to be made to you.  
But I agree this doesn't fit with what could be considered a 
game-precedent definition of "revisable".

On a slightly related/unrelated note, do we want to bother to 
differentiate between objects whose states can change (e.g. 
players) and objects whose states can't change (e.g. BNS -- we 
might own different amounts of them, but they as objects don't 
change)?
