This is why the 'switch w/ higher vtp revision' is a problem -- there is no 
single root vtp server. Instead, each server has a copy of the database and 
when updates are made, it bumps the revision and the other servers grab it. 
(ie. you can make vlan database changes on _any_ vtp server and the changes 
will be replicated across the domain).
