Yes, this is the way I normally do things (e.g., XLPages, ApprovedUrls,
RecentChanges, etc.).

Following PmWikiPhilosophy #3, do we *really* need this level of detail/
control?  And do we need pages for every possible status code (in
the core)?

Or do we simply ship PmWiki with Site.Status404 as the new version of
Site.PageNotFound (used for any non-existent page), and it's then up 
to the site admin to create special Site.StatusXYZ pages for any 
other status codes he/she decides to start using?
