I'd even go further and say that it would be great if we could have interactions with corpses (like being able to hit them, having them to move upon hit, etc...).
Not to mention it would be quite brutal to have someone die in a shieldwall and have his body propped up by the tight quarters and be continually hacked at.
Another feature that could be added to this; a character who is knocked out can then be killed if a "finishing move" is preformed on the dead body.
Edit: Although now that I think about it, ragdolls will probably be handled on the client side, like I believe it was done in Warband.
