jmax - thanks, strong approval noted!

- revisions aren't in the open namespace

- I did imagine storing attachments/uploads inside the page object. I  
asked myself, how often do you need to upload two attachments with the  
same name ? Conversely, how often might you want to link to the same  
attachment from two or more pages ? Would you want to have to remember  
the "owner" page to make such a link ? Would you want those file/image  
links to break when the owner page is renamed or deleted ? (or require  
adding more special logic to fix up that case ?) Wouldn't you want to  
be able to quickly see all files/images in your wiki by going to  
folder contents and sorting by type ? Or if you chose, organise them  
into logical folders ("images/", "css/") ? Or be able to upload your  
static website's file tree into zwiki and have it just work ?

Don't think I'm ruling it out, not at all, but I would like to see  
some convincing arguments.
