Surely there can't be enough sleeper accounts to keep this up for very long. Maybe I'm wrong here, though.
Anecdotal evidence suggests this isn't the case. We have a *lot* of accounts.
Very high profile pages
Good point. I was thinking of articles, but I can see why you might want to protect some administrative pages.
Templates are high on the list. I've seen someone inserting images into {{bio-stub}}, for example, or {{otheruses}}. Guess how many pages this can deface?

Perhaps all pages in template space should be semi-protected by default: templates are an advanced feature that probably does not make sense for new users to experiment with, in any case.
More complexity is probably less desired than more simplicity.
