 I occasionally delete the wrong comments by mistake. Once I've clicked
 delete I just click OK automatically before realising - too late - that
 it's the wrong one.

 How about adding a 'deleted' status value for posts and comments, in
 addition the the existing 'draft', 'published', 'moderated', etc. This
 would IMO be an easy, simple, and intuitive method of going about this.
 Then a 'Trash' page can be added for seeing deleted posts/comments/etc,
 from which they can be permanently destroyed, and a cron/whatever script
 can destroy items which were deleted more than a certain time ago.

 Maybe the priority/severity should be raised? I don't know how many people
 are bothered by this or regularly loose things...
