It's also not possible to customize 'createpage' or 'createtalk' on a
per-namespace basis either. If you enable 'createpage' for anons, it applies to
_all_ namespaces.

Not necessarily an odd hack (please no crappy hack patches!), but at least
writing in a new feature we don't have yet :) But yes, this is correct in
general.

INVALID due to lack of consensus, but also LATER as dependent on some
yet-unfiled "make creation rights configurable per-namespace" bug.
