Your other suggestions were against Wikipedia's
openness,
and I'm happy to be confident that they will never happen.
But I do think that read-only user pages *as*an*option*
would be a useful idea. There have been other problems before.
It is an option. Leave a message on a sysop's talk page and ask them to
protect your user page.
