I might take a look at the relevant parts of the code and see if I can implement something along those lines.
I think this is already pretty doable, userrights, and setting up namespace permissions with 1.10 $wgNamespaceProtection settings.
I agree though, if they can't behave themselves why not block them completely? It sounds like you're talking about maybe PR people, or people that are exclusive POV pushers outside the normal wikipedia culture. If that's the case I think it would be very confusing for them and probably lead to resentment, creating a type of second class editor.
As for people who are not allowed to edit something per arbcom, technical restrictions there I don't think are required. If someone isn't going to follow what they say they probably won't want to work on Wikipedia anyway.
