Did you see my idea of a table like this?
user page throttle expiration jwales DNA 2 (timestamps go here)
Israel 3
jwales Turkey 0 plautus * 0 wik * 3
That's a nice idea, but I'd suggest adding some more precision to the throttle, similar to the way a cron job works, e.g.,
user page throttle.minute throttle.hour throttle.day expiration jwales DNA 2 10 25 (timestamp) wik * * * 3
This would say that user jwales can make up to 2 edits per minute, up to 10 per hour, and up to 25 per day on the DNA article, while user wik can only make up to 3 edits per day on all articles combined.
