3.Make it easier to manage complete sites with Movable Type

I believe it was Tim who first elaborated on the Pages idea but my take on it would be like so:

A Master template (perhaps system so it cannot be deleted) which can contain anything but must contain a tag, say MTContent, that will be populated as appropriate for each Page. Thus, you can have anything common to your pages - header, sidebar, footer - and only need to place one tag for content.
A Pages section to the app (both listing and new) which should be extremely similar to Entries. The New Page screen should function similar to New Entry with title, content and text formatter options - so we can essentially just type out content without worrying about markup, layout etc.
