Any examples of this? I've been very good at keeping my 
vote-on-edits-for-your-subscriptions-queue empty the last weeks, and I 
have not seen it. (Feel free to mail me in private, this is probably not 
interesting for the general public.)

Yes, I understand what you mean and I'll keep that in mind :)
I guess my only defense here is that this is for stuff for which there 
exists no hard rules for: Even the CSG is just a guide, and before my

Sorry, I am of no help as I didn't understand half of that thread, and I 
actually thought that there were some unresolved issues there.

This is for another thread :)
