They've provided a reasonable API, "put something on the page that you want deindexed and tell them to visit it".. I don't know what more we could ask for since anything else would have to have some complex authentication system.. using metatags in the page avoids that problem nicely. .. We just need to support the API.
Add a tickybox that admins can use to noindex a page? When the box is ticked or unticked, the URL is sent to Google.
Well, my point was more "what, *exactly* happens when you ask Google to index a page?" The issue sounded like "could we please get this pulled offline *RIGHT NOW*!?", and I have no reason to believe that the publically available Google API for this has anything like that degree of control...
