Delete & Remove terminology - which to use when. There are many subtleties around this. Some have been discussed on the Sakai-ux list starting January 15th, http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-%28SAK-9678%29-Adopt-consistent-terminology-for-delete---remove-to15188065.html. There is also a Sakai jira, http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/SAK-9678. 
The 'Many Items in a Table' component is something I have been thinking about and discussing in the context of drupal; http://groups.drupal.org/node/7294
I will probably design an interface and help implement an API for it in drupal through the Season of Usability project; http://groups.drupal.org/season-usability
