Very nice, hopefully it'll keep down "accidental deletes".

I was thinking a couple of changes to the interface would do the trick also:

  1. Change the vote buttons in Nodes to consider to a "Yea" and "Nay".
  2. Add a "Consider for delete" checkbox in Approval nodelet

This gets rid of the problem of people voting "delete" on nodes that have been considered for editing (some people seem to vote delete on everything). It also lets auto-delete work: if "consider for delete" is checked, and there are 5 "yea" and less than 2 (4?) "nay" votes, NodeReaper swings his scythe. Finally, an editor could remove the node from consideration if there were more than 4 "nay" votes.

I think that covers it. Have I overlooked something? I think the code changes aren't very big, but I could easily have overlooked something that makes this difficult and/or impossible. Guidance and comments welcome.
