One of the things I see as being problematical is where you have a spin-off topic (ie - the improbable probability problem) that could be a hot button issue that keeps going in the original thread if it doesn't get into the works fairly quickly (not that I expect mine to do so).
I was wondering about the same thing. Since a new restriction is being placed on us may we ask for a slight loosening of the rule about going off-topic?
Would it be permissible to allow a discussion to go off-topic whenever a subtitle beginning with "OFF-TOPIC:" (or perhaps simply "OFT:") is used. Such a subtitle could be a flag for an admin to take a peek. If the admin thinks the subtopic is worthy, he or she could create a new thread for it using that portion of the subtitle that follows "OFT:".
