 In previous versions (not sure where this stopped working but I believe it
 worked in 2.6) you could override the default page_template and
 post_parent when creating a new post/page. This was extremely useful when
 using WP as a CMS. I had custom meta_boxes, would set the page_template to
 a specific template, set the post_parent to the correct parent, and then
 hide them with CSS so the user could not change them (hiding doesn't work
 now either since page_template and page_parent aren't wrapped in their own
 divs).

 Now, based on how get_default_post_to_edit gets called, it sets the
 defaults and they cannot be changed.  The attached diff adds two
 apply_filters that will allow hooking into this.

 Thanks
