Again, I jsut don't see how an Article could become a
full-fledged Wiki entry while not having concurrent
versions.

A WikiPage is MEANT to be edited by everyone. Not so
with an article or a forum post.

The only way i see of avoiding these problem is an
explicit object reference syntax. (the internal feeds)
This way, we're allowing people to use content written
under a certain interface to use it under another.
However, something written under the wiki is not the
same as soemthing written as an article; it is only
that one can link between the two. While this seems to
achieve what DRN was trying to show in his parent
post, it still does not treat a Wiki as the same thing
as a forum post... IMHO, because it's not
doable(permissions and intent are not the same).
