That's actually an interesting idea.

Some places on the web (e.g. StackOverflow comments) only allow 
you to edit your posts/comments a few minutes after posting them, 
so a design such as the following would hopefully be less alien:

1. Upon posting from the web interface, save the post and make it 
immediately viewable to all web interface users (which is the 
majority).
2. Allow the user to edit or delete their post during a grace 
period (e.g. 5 minutes).
3. Once the grace period expires, send the final version off to 
NNTP/mailing lists.

Could be configurable (on by default), too. Would require some 
internal restructuring, and adding additional validation for 
things currently taken care of by the NNTP server, but seems 
certainly doable.
