I'm guessing the implementation is really easy... just produce a page with 
this row:
  <input type='hidden' name='pagename' value='EmacsModes.Customization' />
changed into.
  <textarea name='pagename'>EmacsModes.Customization</textarea>

Actually, since this seems so easy I'll try it out here:

when you get this mail it might already be in place :-)

Here's an example of what it looks like in MoinMon:

(I wonder if the 'RamenRecipeTemplate' is serious...)
