Right - there are other mechanisms for restricting the editability of a page than whether someone happened to get there first.
I've written two extensions for the case where you want to restrict edits to User pages:
1) KeepYourHandsToYourself prevents users from editing eachother's pages and subpages
2) EditOnlyYourOwnPage prevents users from editing anything other than their own page, talk page and subpages thereof
One of those two may meet Richard's needs depending on how flexible the problem statement is.

It's already done with .cs and .css subpages, if I remember correctly. Maybe you can take a look on how's implemented there ;-)
It's implemented by matching the editor name with the basepagename
