Fine. But what about the theoretical idea of allowing
for private discussion/scoop spaces on wikinews, for
example? Part of what makes news organizations work is
their ability to privately collaborate in gathering
news before its published.

Off topic? Certainly.

Actually, they would. Protection is meant as a
defense against
persistent vandalism, not as a reward for admins.
If you want a non-editable page, please don't use a
wiki. I see no
reason user pages need to be protected any more than
any other page.
You don't own these pages just because you created
them in the user
namespace. See
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ownership>
and
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Protected_pages_considered_harmful>.
