It's up to you [1].

Some questions in order to clarify things a bit (at least for me):

Having '^Properties' in pages would be a very nice way to initialize
page variables so why having two kind of "variables" accessor in pages
{$FullName} and {$:Something}, since semantically, they are both page
attributes?

Practically speaking, how do you want the PageVariableExtensions
recipe to be integrated into this scheme?

[1] The "$item = preg_replace($r['pat'], $r['rep'], $item);" was in
fact just a tip of the hat to the Markup function itself ;-) (weird
sense of humor?)
