Maybe the way I worded it sounds more painful than I meant it.  First off, the tantrum mandates (I'll call them "hissy demands" from now on) are meant as a buffer between plain unhappiness and going berserk.  If you can satisfy the hissy demands OR their regular demands, they'll go back to being content.  Of course, if things aren't to their liking, they'll get hissy again, but you've bought yourself some time to get some chains built or whatever.

Second, the hissy demands are supposed to be achievable.  In fact, I've been talked down by a friend to having them just like ordinary mandates except more common.  There's still the issue of what mandates would be issued by nobles that don't normally issue mandates though.

Third, the happiness effect on other dwarves should be pretty small, about the inverse of a couple +item+ appreciations, maybe.  Nothing like getting physically assaulted, it would just be enough to upset dwarves that are already on the decline.
