Real-life experience shows that Wiki's don't work that way. People add
discussion points at the end of a page; they don't normally edit the
original text.

For a good discussion about Wiki use, see
http://c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?WikiWikiWebFaq or
http://c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?WhyWikiWorks. I can't find the one URL I'm
looking for that basically says "Wiki works because people tend to be
polite and play nicely together."
