I've reorganized things a bit so that it's clear the "Edit Options" button can be used for unsubscribing as well (the button now reads "Unsubscribe or edit options"). Also, if you leave the field blank, you'll be shown the options login page with an extra field prompting you for your email address. So the "simple unsubscribe directions" can now be explained as:
1. Go to http://www.dom.ain/mailman/options/listname 2. Enter your email address 3. Click on "Unsubscribe" 4. Check your email for confirmation instructions
#4 may still be optional if I get to implement open unsubscribes.
Strong vote here for moving the "options" further up the page. Those who are just looking can scroll past the "if you're a current member" stuff or not, I don't care, but I want my subscribers to see the "<listname> Subscribers" section immediately without scrolling. Also, yes, I think the title should be clear. In fact, I think the "Visit Subscriber List" should not be in this section.
In fact, I'd go as far as, up near the top, adding a new major section (perhaps right after About <listname>):
Unsubscribing
To unsubscribe from <listname>, enter your subscription email address: <textbox> <Unsubscribe button>
and then I'd probably move "<listname> Subscribers" up there too. Service your current customers higher on the page; let people who want to subscribe be the ones who scroll...

There's some good ideas here, but I'm going to put them off for now so I can get the last couple of features in. I think we can tweak the UI during the beta cycle.
