Caution: If you want to spoon out the pumpkin and the filling or try mixing it, you better bake the pumpkin in a casserole because you'll need to support the sides.
Playing around: I think you could play around with the filling, adding bacon or ham, herbs (a little thyme might be nice) or nuts.
If you make it, I hope you'll let me know what you did, how it came out and how you liked it. As Catherine said, the recipe is bound to evolve. It is, after all, a recipe-in-progress and having it be a communal recipe-in-progress can only make it better -- and more fun!
