creating a user with a null password but with state "email verification required" would mean a semi-anonymous person could enter content, and if they ever wanted to edit it they would could turn it into a real account simply by validating their email.

I am not sure what you would do about the second message they entered if they had not verified their email address (I guess as long as the account had a null password and had not verified you would let them continue entering data using just their email address).

Anyway, I lean towards #2 as the better solution and really easier in the long run as well.
