I originally planned to do a one-off solution just for myself: I would simply
record an empty summary as a minor edit, with the only difference being a "did
you mean for this to be a minor edit" popup and an exclusion of minor edits
from the feed.
I mentioned offering this to the rest of ya, and Andi said he preferred the
minor-edit checkbox. So I said, okay, I can live with a checkbox. And I came
to this list for clarification on how that solution works.

This is another good idea. Is it possible that a single line change could have
significant repercussions that readers of the feed might need to learn about?
Oh, and would page subscribers learn of minor edits?

Because it's not yet clear what the computer would do.
We seem to have no agreement on the minor-edit solution. If Andi wants to
settle this, I'll code that up. Otherwise I'll just do my own personal
one-off.
