A big +1<br />
<br />
Uwe's suggestion to make the karma timebound is very sensible.  That way we can boost the karma value per transaction without worrying about the "spam" of iterative edits over a short span of time (something I am guilty of, just the way I work).<br />
<br />
I also agree with the remainder of his points.<br />
