We also want to keep a calendar for clubhouse availability, but don't want to clutter up the public calendar with restricted events, committee meetings, etc.
We do this using Tags on the events. Non-public events are tagged "admin" or "private". Public events are tagged "social", "cruise", etc. Then our main calendar shows all public events, and there is a separate calendar, not on our main menu, for all clubhouse uses.
This doesn't do exactly what you're asking but it does reduce what the public sees (unless they dig deep).

This would not be necessary if members are allowed to edit or cancel their own registration.

We’re looking into this request in much broader context – we want to simplify overall management of contacts, lists, saved searches. Saved search should be perceived as smart lists and provide quick access to various contact and member groups.

We don't need the names of all registrants. So for spouse and children, we just have "number of adults" and "number of children" as "Extra charge calculation" items on the registration form. This also allows us to charge different prices for adults and children (or for members and non-members, etc.).
We only use the "additional guests" feature of WA when we need to use the limit on number of registrants.

I use section headers for instructions sometimes. They are too large for some situations, just as the field instructions are too small. But sometimes they are just right.

Evgeny, your registration and attendance reports don't have enough information in them, and the formats are too restrictive.
The proof of this is the number of Wishlist requests that complain about having to export registration data to Excel in order to have the information they need.
What is needed is a registration list gadget that provides a button that will generate a complete list of registration data for an event (see my link below), and the ability to specify who can see the button, based on admin privileges, membership class or group membership.
(We generate this report using the API. It is used by event managers and by members who just want to see who else is coming. We block non-members from seeing it by passing it through a members-only page.)
You can't possibly anticipate all the different registration report requirements for all your different customer organizations. So please just make the information accessible to both admins and members, in an easier format than Excel.

Event attendee lists need much more functionality for both members and admins.
Our members like to see who else is signed up. The current registrant list only shows the registered member, not any additional guests or information.
Event organizers need to see signups and all the registration information without needing admin access.
So we have implemented a registration list feature using the API. It's accessible from the event listing and any member can see it.
For an example, see http://toolworks.com/temp/WAreg.htm .
WA should provide something like this.

Our club would want to default to offline only.
But let's not fight over it. :)
At the beginning, I set up a few different events the way I wanted them. Now I just duplicate the one that's closest to the new event, and edit in the changes. I don't care what the defaults are because I never run into them any more.

There's a general problem of WA's insensitivity to an organization's need to use its own terminology.
There needs to be a general mechanism for an organization to set its own wording for a whole bunch of terms that are unfortunately hardwired. "Bundle" is the worst offender but there are plenty of others.
There should be a list of these terms that admins could change. Once the list exists, it should be expanded by request on an ongoing basis.

Since making this comment, I realized that all active and pending members can be specified by a saved search with "Member Status is not Lapsed."
