A small but nice addition IMHO is asking confirmation before deleting a 
record (on the client side, since you're trying to KIS i presume):

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
	function confirmDeletion(url) {
		if (confirm("Are you sure ?")) {
			document.location = url;
		}
	}
</script>

<input type="button" value="Destroy" onClick = "confirmDeletion(
'[% base %]example/destroy/[% item.id %]');" />
