I take it you don't agree with protecting articles that are the subject of an edit war between established editors?

No, I think it's better to temporarily block those established editors for edit warring. Why block *everyone* from editing an article just because two people can't get along? But like I said, that one's arguable.
Because if two (or more) people have come to the point of I'll-revert-you-every-thirty-seconds edit warring, they probably won't be averse to finding an undocumented open proxy, creating sockpuppets, and continuing on their merry way...
Actually I think the number of people who are going to go through all that trouble is much smaller than the number who are going to get involved in an edit war.
