Very good idea. Something like this can also be usefull to reduce vandalism by anonymous users. But that is mayby for when there is more vandalism. At least, vandalism is not yet a problem on my wikipedia.
It would also save me from the embarrassment of realizing, minutes after clicking "save page", that there's a typo or other silly mistake that I need to go back and fix. In those minutes there could be dozens of people reading the page and imagining what a twit I must be to make those silly mistakes! :)
Seriously, though, I think this is a good idea too. A lag of an hour or two before an edit becomes "official" is nothing in the grand scheme of things, and it may make Wikipedia look a little less unreliable to some of the doubters.
