I think the closest we're going to get to a good technical solution would be to have some magic words __INDEX__ and __NOINDEX__ that will force indexing on or off for a document. The default could be set per-namespace, and I'm assuming we'd want articlespace to be the only one indexed by default.
I think everything should be indexed by default, and we can address problems as they appear (with {{NOINDEX}}) rather than hiding valuable information from the web. Obviously when something is sure to cause problems a template could be used preemptively. Better to make small organic changes than giant sweeping ones in my opinion.
