sample icons

Quick comments - 

1/ I assume you're talking about when there is no current RevDel flags, but
have been in the past. Yes, this would take a join or an extra boolean flag
(HAS_BEEN_REVDEL_ACTION?) in the revision table; its importance is that an item
which once had RevDel action (the specific revision was deleted) but isn't now,
is worth highlighting. it may be it was undeleted wrongly, or there is
something meriting attention there. That kind of exception is well worth being
able to see.

2/ Maybe; if it's greyed out the icon might be superfluous. The point is then
the icon acts as a "what does this mean" to users, whereas if something is just
struck out there is no further explanation so they may not know what it means
initially or where to look for help. 

(They might have a genuine wish to ask about the edit, or discuss it; strikeout
doesn't link to anything, and making all struck out stuff also hyperlinks will
add random hyperlinks in a widespread distracting manner.)

3/ Icon style? I wouldn't use padlocks. Too forbidding. An icon more suited to
explanation/query/information would be good. Small yellow circle with "i" for
information or slanted question mark or something? I'm far from a designer but
I've attached a concept.
