Does it mean 10/4 actual karma (10 points of downvote cap), or 10*4 points of downvote cap (10 points of actual karma)? (I expect the former.)
The number of remaining downvote points should be visible, otherwise at some point people run into a brick wall that should be avoided by calibrating the rate of downvoting rather than by being unable to make high-certainty downvotes. Even better, allow unrestricted downvoting, but recalculate the efficacy of downvotes based on voter's karma and number of downvotes.
Voted up for displaying the number of remaining downvotes but I'm not a big fan of sliding karma effects.
