Ian, This is relatively simple. As part of the submit page, have it save the document away with a flag 'pending'.
Is there just one administrator? Do you want different admin for different areas of the site? That is the real pain. You could have a pending approval page that admin can go to to see any pending pages. They could then view (AND edit) those pages before accepting the content or rejecting the comment.
