I'd prefer a different approach: a true draft / submission cycle for more substantive works.
This starts approaching a blogging or CMS system, but then, Reddit is already damned close to that, though with a larger community than most same.
Under this model:
* An item would be submitted.
* If approvals / edit / drafting is set, it goes to a submission or edit queue.
* A set of mods/editors would provide feedback and/or make edits (which of these apply depending on the sub).
* The item is then submitted.
This would allow for adjusting titles, self-text, formatting, etc. I'm not claiming this is something all subs would want, but some would (and I've a few specific ones in mind).
For now, the fix is to delete the submission entirely and submit it anew. I've certainly done that within my own sub(s).
