If we cab have the basis for email notification, i.e. callouts to
function vs the hacks to editpage we have now.

My reasoning is that short term every edit is cool, but long term it is
spammish.  I do not need every edit user X made to 5 pages over a 10
minute period (40 emails).

I do see that this will need some time to develop.  If we can have two
functions that get called, something like:

CheckShouldWeDoEmailNotify(calling function, page, user) returns bool
EmailNotify(calling function, page, user, new content)

Then we can just put the hacks in the appropriate lib (perhaps its own
for now) and people can develop it conjunction with their other
processes (i.e. if they have a hack user base, then perhaps they have a
hacked email notify).
