I'm not defending the approach.  I was simply pointing you to a site that
discusses it, and has a lot more experience that anyone here with respect to
Wiki vandalism.

My own opinion is that we could require end users to register, just as they
have to register for a mailing list.  The registration process would e-mail
a unique SSL cert to install into a browser.  With that SSL cert in place,
users can update the Wiki.  Without it, they are read-only.
