This is better than simply stuffing everybody's schemes into the core. 
I might prefer to see a way to implement more than one filter (as 
complicated as that now appears to be), but this will produce better 
results for me than having to hack *out* moderation features that don't 
meet my needs.

If someone felt ambitious, they could even build a plugin-compatible 
scheme that lays on top of this layer.  The key is that the layer exists 
to hook into.

Good idea, Ryan.
