BTW, why do anonymous IPs have the ability to mark edits as minor? That wasn't the case for Phase II. The way it is now "hide minor edits" is useless because most vandals are anonymous and oftentimes mark their vandalisms as "minor". I therefore don't use the hide minor edits feature.
What I've seen work is to make summaries mandatory for non-minor edits.
Sound like an interesting idea.
Either of the above options is good; I don't think both are required together; and I prefer the first: let only named users minor-edit.
I frequently use minor edits if I'm just making links, or clearing up typos, or making tweaks to sentence structure -- having to fill in the edit box each time would be a little tedious.
