This sounds desirable.

That sounds less so.

I generally like checkdoc, but it's too much in-your-face for my taste.
If you're interested, it would be wonderful if you could change it so it
doesn't signal errors all the time, but just messages/warnings instead.

The intention would be:
- make it possible/bearable to enable checkdoc-mode unconditionally
  (so M-C-x will always check your docstrings, whether you want it or
  not, which clearly requires reducing substantially the
  in-your-faceness factor).
- solve the problem you mention that rejecting one suggestion can make
  you miss subsequent ones.
- make something like checkdoc-batch possible without resorting to
  a diabolical implementation.
