I was not aware `C-x C-s' is also available from the agenda, great.

What about having those dired-like keys with a modifier?

M-d: mark for deletion
M-m: mark for operation
M-u: unmark this entry
M-x: operate on marked entries
M-D: delete marked entries
M-U: unmark all

This way, no need to change anything from the current keybindings 
just add these new ones.  Having a modifier is also safer for M-x 
and reflect the fact that we are in a special operating mode in 
the agenda...

(By no means I want to be fussy about the current keybindings, it 
just I thought it was worth discussing this before we got used to
the default keybindings.)
