That's fair.  Here's the gist of it:
*  An unprotected article gets put under "Pending Revisions"/"Double Check"
by an admin
*  From that point forward, edits from anonymous users are listed as
"pending revisions", and aren't displayed to other anonymous readers by
default (though they'll be accessible from a "pending revisions" tab)
*  Any autoconfirmed user can then mark the latest pending revision as
"accepted", or revert to the latest accepted revision.

I just uploaded a bunch of images that may help people visualize the feature
as we see it:

Here's the permissions as we're currently planning to deploy them for the
trial:
