Or to make it even simpler, it could just email the entire addition
out to the admins straight away.  Maybe the app could have the option
to also mail the addition to the end-user's own email account, so if
the admin turns out to be absent then the end-user can add the page
themselves when they get home.

Note that this is just in the case where someone wants to add an
entirely new establishment.  If the end-user wants to add a comment on
an existing review then the app already knows which guide to tell the
central service to send the update to, and the comment can just be
appended to the page as we already do on RGL.

Incidentally, if anyone wants the RGL "add a comment" code, just
shout.  (I think it has some kind of encoding bug in it, but it's not
a really annoying one, and I haven't been able to trigger it myself.
I only know about it because it sometimes gets triggered by one of the
very few spammers that get through our spamblocker.)
