[dokuwiki] brainstorming for template plugin

hi list,
while still working on the fckw plugin (a brainstorming request about fckw will follow), i prepare for the next plugin in mind. it should be a template plugin. but instead of starting right away with it, i'd like to ask the community for tips... 

what problem is the plugin supposed to solve:
especially in corporate environments with structured documentation tasks, you might want a standard page layout. this could be for clients descriptions, projects, requests, ect... 

basic ideas are:
  * every page within a given namespace is a template
  * the plugin adds a button to the editor, that enables
    the insertion of a template in the page you are currently
    editing
  * a template is either of type "insert" or "replace"
    * insert: insert the wiki code at the cursor position
    * replace: replaces the whole page

what do you think about this?
would you choose a totally different approach?
any input is welcome ;)

greetings.
pierre.
