When the proposal was made, the "multi-wiki" feature was not bundled
properly in XE (I was working on it), so it could explains why it was not
in the proposal. When I did the implementation, I thought it was natural to
put the "Add wiki" item there, like I did for Colibri and like Workspaces
was doing.

This is why, at the end, the implementation is not 100% like the proposal.
