This is how I run it in my world, but I'm sure there are those
who would do it differently.

As for multiple damage for backstabbing, I have the player figure out
the total damage he would do normally and multiply it by his backstabbing
capability.  For example, a thief backstabs with a dagger, the dagger does
3 points, the thief gets a +1 for strength, and a +1 magical bonus on the
dagger.  So he does a total of 5 points and gets triple damage on backstabs,
thus doing 15 points.

Lesser undead can be turned no matter who's controlling them.  An undead
creature under the control of another creature is not an extension of 
that creature, and is not protected by that creature.  There is nothing
in the DMG that says otherwise.

Neutral clerics could feasibly choose to either destroy or control
undead upon which they get a 'D' result, but it is dependent on the
leaning of their diety.  A cleric who works for a god of death or
something similar would probably keep the undead around, but a cleric
that works for the god of wild sex parties would probably wipe the
foul creature off the face of the earth.

In my world, a ring of regeneration always works to fix up anyone
wearing it at a steady rate, with no delay in start-up time.  Rings
of regeneration work as a trolls regeneration works, even after death.
So if a character goes to -11 and is wearing the ring, he will still
come back, but normally by that time, his slayers will have either
eaten him or stripped his body of everything valuable, including the
ring.
