Mike + Doc,
I agree I don't really see this plugin as solving much other than enabling me to do something I could already do before, albeit a bit simpler. Read more in my blog post.
Mike I like your idea of a read|write web, provided the original copy is left untouched, however I think ego and ?dare I say it again? spam will still be the big obstacles there.
I have for years been pondering the value of allowing people to add markup onto pages in a sort of "view user input" layer which can be switched on and off at will. This is now definitely very possible with Ajaxian techniques, though versioning a multipage document remains an issue, and then there is always the worry of moderation and abuse. However in restricted access wiki's this has been known to be an easily overcome obstacle, so perhaps it is a possibility for us right now if some bright spirit comes around to host a service like this.
Now there would be a real value adder. And people can add as many links as they want which will hopefully retain the context and cross-reference.
