Mike, that's a great way of putting it.  The whole thing's starting to gel
now.

Cheez.  You got me again.

I like their syntax structure better.  I didn't realize it could be so
powerful.

Sure.  That part of it might take me a little longer because I'm new to CVSs
& Difference Engines.  I'm thinking I should encapsulate all the tag
conversion & basic difference engine methods into one class that can be
accessible from other phpWS modules.  Module->Module links could then be
effected by using namespaces.  Links within the same module wouldn't require
any.  Since changelog standardization would be impossible, each module would
be responsible for maintaining its own archives and interfacing with the
Difference Engine.

How does that Wiki->Wiki  namespace capability work?  Is there some sort of
central registry?
