It is partly there already - the option "Edit document properties before 
saving"  in Tools->Options->Load/Save->General
This off by default. When it is on, the document properties dialog appears the 
first time you save the file. It does not force you add any text though. It 
just makes you feel guilty for being lazy when you press cancel.

Organisations could add macros to the document save process to force you to 
add text. But I have see the results of such policies - long lists of swear 
words in the catalogues and lots of aaa, bbb, acd etc. You can force people 
to type it is harder to keep them sensible.
