just to be sure I understand what you're talking about:

instead of doing, e.g.
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/1.1.6/index.php3?PhpWikiBrainstorm
you suggest:
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/1.1.6/PhpWikiBrainstorm

How would edits/diffs/... handled?

like this:
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/1.1.6/edit/PhpWikiBrainstorm
or this:
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/1.1.6/PhpWikiBrainstorm/edit
or this:
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/1.1.6/PhpWikiBrainstorm?edit
(this makes sense to me)

Actually, you only need to touch two files: index.php3 (preparing
args) and wiki_stdlib.php3 (doing WikiLinks) - plus maybe the
template files. It is a reasonable suggestion, but it means that
phpwiki would no longer run "out of the box". This kind of setup
requires changes to the web server's config. This is not possible
everywhere.

We could add it as option, though.
I'm not sure that this is an urgent issue.
The only difference might be for spiders scanning the web (e.g.
search engines). Some of them ignore anything after "?" and would only 
index the main page and nothing else.

Any other reason?
