Sure, any wiki variant is possible. The phpwiki can be asked to force 
login, too. I use twiki internally at work, and I think it's editing 
model is a dog (i.e. forces previews and looks ugly by default). The 
wikipedia one seems interesting, but may have too many features.

The concept of "Wiki history/CVS maintains attributions" is interesting, 
but I don't know what happens in backup/restore cycle. If it doesn't 
restore the edit history (i.e. dumps only the current page views) than 
it couldn't be compliant ...
