I don't agree with users who don't have sysop- or above (in the 'hierarchy') level access viewing deleted revisions.
How many users would have this permission, and how would they get it? Autoconfirm-style number of good edits + time on project = 'editor' level?

between user and sysop), one would have the capabilities to edit protected articles, view deleted revisions, and generally view admin-olny things (but not actually perform sysop actions per se). And they might have a toolbar that would allow them to nominate these things...
That's a better idea. The protection bit could be done as a form of protection inbetween semi and full (and there could be a super-protection that can only be edited by people with oversight, checkuser and crats). Viewing deleted revisions would be good, but might cause some problems - some things are deleted because it's important that people don't see them (personal info, copyvios, etc), making more people able to see deleted revisions could be risky.
