You can set up a workflow to meet these requirements fairly easily with 
DCWorkflows. Specifically, you'd want to change the permissions of the 
published state to allow the owner of the content (and perhaps, reviewers)
the ability to edit the content, so they don't need to switch back and forth 
between publishing states. This tends to make sense for small pieces of 
content, like links or events, but for large documents it may make sense to 
stick with the retract, change and resubmit model.
