Beeing a long time IRC user, I've often seen that a concept of

I think timed affiliations could be useful. Having a way to ban
someone for a defined time is a good feature, for example.
Also timed memberships, and use-it-or-lose-it timeouts on
affiliations might be useful.
We're also asked about timeouts on rooms, too, from time to time.
Wouldn’t it be better to just reset the affiliation to the
previous one?
For example, with your proposal, if you ban a member for, say, 10
minutes, she will come back with no affiliation. That can be
disturbing and I don’t see why that would be the prefered way.
Reseting the affiliation to the one that was set before seems more
logical and useful to me.
I don’t know if that could be integrated in XEP 0045 or as an
separated XEP, but I think this is simple and short enough to be
included in 0045.
The problem is that requires a bit more storage and manipulation. I'm
not against that, but if you banned them, why have them back as a
member straight away?
