This reminds me of a good idea Mark had to make it easy to create new pages - a Pub Wizard. You'd click on "add a new pub" and you'd get a form with as much information as possible already added in, hints as to what categories you might like to add the pub to, that sort of thing. I've cc'ed Mark in on this in the hope that he can expand on this a bit.
The big advantage of this would be that we could provide pub-specific metadata boxes without cluttering up the general edit form.
Is the intention here to prefill structured metadata into the main text? This would seem like a large step backwards. The solution I guess is to have a restricted default edit form with buttons to show specific categories of metadata in the form (which may be exactly what you mean by the wizard, it's not entirely clear). So:
"unhide pub-specific fields" "unhide restuarant-specific fields"
etc etc. This could be combined with a set of tickboxes on the "create page" form.
