Blizzard went out of their way to put content twenty levels above the regional content into certain zones. For example, there are 5 Horde quests up to level 35 in Gnomeregan that take you through Dun Morogh where the average Alliance player is level 7. Those quests are still green for Horde players up to level 41. Blizz very much intended to draw players of unequal level into conflict and designed their game to reflect that. A lot of the NPC guards in the newbie areas are level 55 - fair game for level 60 PvP'ers. Because of this, Blizz is marking these guys as fair game and practically begging for high levels to go hang out in the opposing newbie towns.
And I've personally been part of a lot of occasions when low level players (especially players in the 20's and 30's) gang together in large masses to take down solitary opposing players. This scenario does happen. A lot. On the alliance side (as an example) it will happen every couple hours in Duskwood and Redridge. It also happens in Westfall and Darkshore - and in those cases the lowbies have to go out of their way to activate their PvP to bring down the higher level player. Heck, last week I was in Goldshire and a lvl 40 and a 30 players no higher than 15 were working together to kill a pair of level 60's who were hanging out killing questgivers in the area.
