The up-side to creating a Palestinian state as soon as possible would be that they could all be moved into one centralized area. It would also create a focal point, a country instead of an ambiguous PA with no real boundaries. A sort of "aiming point", at which to concentrate. I believe, given the Palestinian predisposition toward anarchy, any Palestinian state most probably could not survive without sucking money from other Arab nations, thereby linking them monetarily and politically with what would most likely be termed a terrorist nation from the very start.

They could be moved today. Heck with giving the Arab plan legitimacy. Boundaries are needed but to leave things like Jerusalem as an after thought is just one more nail in the coffin of this plan.

Wishful thinking. The PA will never democratize. Nor will Islam on its own (Turkey aside.)
