A quick perusal of the source indicates that new empty Documents are filled
with the string from OFS.Document.default_html. I bet you could poke your
own value in there with an external method, and then be happy as pie.

It might be nicer if the Folder creating a document first checked for an
attribute like default_html and if found, filled new docs with that
instead. I bet this would be a simple patch (OFS/Document.py in
manage_addDocument) that even a novice Zopester could figure out how to do.
Of course, you don't see me volunteering to do it ;-)
