How would this affect the readability of links? The current LinkingScheme
using WikiWords is nice because it PreservesReadability of the text.

I already find that the InterWiki link scheme is distracting enough. Trying
to Wiki:ReadASentence with PhpWiki:InterWikiLinks in it is 
NomicWiki:HardEnoughAlready. 

Nevermind having Usemod:PathNames/ComplexPathNamesLikeThis.

I think non-computer-types are really going to baulk at this sort of 
thing. I know people who think WikiWords are distracting enough as it is.
