I asked around at #mediawiki on http://freenode.net about [[wiki]] -> [[html]] conversion since there are hundreds of sites serving [[Wikipedia]] content as static html I thought that either all those sites invented the wheel for themselves or there is a freely available tool, and there is one developed within [[mediawiki]] development [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/phase3/maintenance/dumpHTML.inc?rev=1.3&view=markup here is the .inc file] and [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/phase3/maintenance/dumpHTML.php?rev=1.1&view=markup here is the .php file] (from the 1.5 alpha tree)

There are (imho) two approaches to making [[Consumerium services]] and [[features]] to work:
 
#'''Pro-Determinism''': machine-friendly: heavy use of [[Special:Categories|categories]], heavy use of [[namespaces]], Using strictly the same terminology as a business operative would eg. [[Company]], [[Brand]] and [[Product]] namespaces
#'''Emergent''': Laid back, more wikilike. Let's just see if we can make minimum set of rules of what goes where and how will strange attractors or other "order from chaos" emerge.
