No, this already exists. Maybe there is no API to set it in 
XWikiDocument, but check the XML of an exported doc, you'll see it. And 
I think it is also already usable (at least in syntax 1.0), XWiki will 
use the document indicated in this field (if present) as the sheet in 
edit mode. There is an equivalent for view mode : defaultViewSheet.

This is for the case you don't want to use the content to that. For 
example, I used it in workspaces since I wanted the content to be 
editable with the (old) WYSIWYG that potentially would alter the 
#includeForm statement. (And I also did not wanted to expose this 
statement to users). Now, I probably could have used defaultEditSheet 
and defaultViewSheet instead, and thus have my presentation code for 
edit and view in the wiki rather than in the skin (or templates/ folder).

So to sum up:
- "template" is for using a specific .vm to render the document against 
(it will supersede view.vm or edit.vm)
- "defaultViewSheet" or "defaultEditSheet" is to force a wiki document 
as sheet in view or edit mode
