I've already made these changes in my installation, and have made my patches available in the `edittemplate` branch of [my git repository](git://civilfritz.net/ikiwiki.git).
Changes to the structure of `$pagestate{$registering_page}{edittemplate}{$pagespec}` mean that a `cgi` rebuild is necessary (for reasons I don't entirely understand); but I think that's preferable to creating an entirely separate `$pagestate` namespace for storing parameters. That said, I'm not really a perl programmer, so corrections are welcome.
