I think the main reason Stevie gets 50% credit for Bootylicious is because not only did it inspire the song, but they actually used the original Edge of Seventeen track. At the very beginning of Edge, you can slightly hear Stevie wail (you can hear it really well on the Timespace version). The track seems a tad slower on Bootylicious, but you can still hear Stevie's wail. In fact, they just looped the same part so you hear her wail multiple times!
As far as the piano demo goes, did you go to her thing at the Grammy museum? She supposedly played Edge on the piano and segued into Rhiannon and then into Moonlight (maybe not in that order) and talked about how she uses the same chords all the time and she's pretty much just been writing one long song her whole career. Anywho, I've never heard any piano demos of Edge, but maybe thats where you heard the piano version? Also, there is this version, which is the studio version with only the piano, keyboard, and vocals! Probably as close to a piano version as we will get.
This one also starts off with no guitar, but it kicks in.
