Sorry if I ramble on about how I wish it would work, but what the 
heck...............

I just dont get the joy of killing someone 40 levels under you. I play on 
PvP and I enjoy battles where the other side at least has a chance to win. 
Maybe I want to lessen that chance somewhat, but 60 vs. 20 is no chance. - 
Though I did just start an elf hunter on another server and stunned a 60 
warrior charging me, that was well worth the death I took 5 seconds later 
when he hit me once. -
DHKs for someone 20+ levels below you would rock. Blizzard already knows who 
starts a fight might as well use that to flag a low level as "ok to kill" 
for the person they attack. And no a level 20 attacking a level 60 will not 
endanger the level 60 enough to need help from his/her level 60 friends, nor 
would a level 39. The only issue here would be the level 39 healing the 
level 60 while he fought another level 60, but that could happen today, and 
the solo 60 would still die if they focused on the 39.

Another way to implement that would be to have PvP not be "on" for people 
20+ levels below you until they took some action then they would have PvP 
turned on for everyone not just the level +-20.
