    But is there automatic XML-import and hopefully diff facilities for importing from internet-encyclopedia or wikipedia or any number and choice of GetWiki or MediaWiki running wikis?

    This is a good reason to support a m: = "multiple", and n: = "neutral" and f: = "factional" name space. We select the best of each behind the scenes, rather than hardwiring assumptions about that into the article itself. Why not? We already point to w: articles which are ever-changing... so why not ever-changing redirects?

    We certainly need to get GetWiki to run a test-wiki to see how it is different and maybe use Wikinfo or use Wikipedia as a user preference.

    A good first step - the user could set where w: points for their purposes. Why not ask the GetWiki developers for this kind of feature? I'm sure they'll see the need for it. There should be arbitrary code possible to figure out where m:, w:, f:, n: go. Maybe there already is?
