What if the exp loss was around 5%, with a hypothetical population of around 500-750? I imagine the numbers will be very high to begin with, then taper off.

If you're going to implement XP loss for PvP, 5% may as well be 0. 25% would probably be ideal...enough to restrict bind rushing, solo ganking, (makes the gankers even want to take a buddy or two along) and not enough to deter serious PvP. On the other hand, there should also be XP for PvP kills. (Also reduced to avoid alt-killing for leveling. Just enough to promote PvP)
All the tired arguments about deleveling, CC, griefing...they all result from stupidity. There are just too many ways to circumvent someone causing you "grief". (Unless the CC is intended for corpse rot...and yeah, there are boneheads that will poopsock a corpse that long. That's the only case in which I can see any justification for GM intervention).
Hotzones would still be good for normal XP boosts, and they would promote PvP as a side benefit.
