I like the idea of redefining <page>. One of the things I'd like to do, is to support Tag Managers. Things like Google Tag Manager want a Data Layer defined before it is used. So if I create a Data Layer entity, I can then make sure I've stuffed it properly, before I then fire up the Tag Manager later in the code.
And parameterising the page sounds perfect. If any page has a meta description, I want to have it indexed, so I could conditionally state "if a meta description has been provided, then INDEX, else NOINDEX". That feels elegant and reduces effort. And similarly if I provide a canonical link reference, I'll want to use that to override a default that would be the current page URL. Yeah, that seems like the right way to do it. Thanks for the advice and link!
