Because that is the way it has always been...

I suspect the reasoning was that the topStack can be considered the 
top-most document stack, and you'd probably expect 'revert' in isolation 
to act on 'document' stacks.

The best thing here would be to add a variant:

    revert <stack>

So that its operation is entirely clear. Filed as enhancement
