thats indeed a good idea and it will make it quite easy to use advanced
pages as default type without obfuscating the redacteurs.

its very simple to achive since you just have to add some
"---div---;Title" to $TCA['pages']['types'] and set
$TCA['pages']['crl']['dividers2tabs'] = TRUE;

additionally the feature could be enabled/disabled with flag from
config/ectmgm.

i understand that as the suggestion to add some of the fields of the
page redord to the standard interface of page module. for instance to
enable the setting of title, subtitle and type without editing the page
header record.

i think it could easyly be added to the templa voila page module as an
optional tab. but i'dont know weather that makes it harder for
redacteurs to understand the concept of pages and content elements. so
there should be some discussion about such a feature.
