In an ideal world, the list of people editing a node (in the case of editors) or replying to a node (for everyone) would get cleared out after a pretty long time (like an hour), if the edit/reply is ever committed, or if the editor/replier hits "Cancel" (a new button whose sole purpose is to remove you from the list of editors/repliers for a node, just out of courtesy).
But a first stab at this could skip the last item in the list to save development time.

replier? I thought we were only talking about editors here, not replies.
As for the need for people to be able to "cancel", we would want that regardless of how we do the lock, right? I'm not sure I like the varaible timeout though. I kind of like the consistency enforced by the server doing a pessimistic lock.
As a side note, I assume that editors will be able to preview the edit before it gets submitted, right?
