For my mind, the most useful ability would be a mode where all the pages
I would see on the site would be the last pages touched by a "reputable
authority". As a rule of thumb, I would assume that that person has
looked over the rest of the article and didn't have any severe qualms
about it.
The tricky part about it then is who constitutes a reputable authority,
and on which topics... But there are mechanisms for doing that.
