Just to clarify, are you talking about New Pages or Recent Changes? (I
think the discussion started as RC, and moved to NP).
The practical problem I see with this scheme (which is worse for RC) is
that any edits started between one user's submission and admin approval
will amount to edit conflicts.
There are a number of ways such conflicts could be managed, but then the
system stops being so simple.
