Oh, and the main reason I think it would be nice to have as a rule would be to have the option to make corpses poof immediately without even starting a timer. This would probably reduce some of the load on servers after a large AE pull is killed. I know when I have 30ish mobs all die at once, it almost always crashes the zone.

One thing I was thinking is that instead of a rule, it might be nice to have the decay timer be an actual setting in the Zones table similar to canbind, accept the number would be the time in seconds of how long the corpse would last. In most zones, I would like the 5 second timer to be set, because I think it would just be a little weird for corpses to disapear immediately. But there are definitely a couple of zones where I would prefer to have them vanish immediately, mostly because there are often AE groups in those zones and the server needs any help it can get to reduce performance issues from AEing.
