Funnily enough I've just been amending some wiki pages which used the old <map> syntax where z= or zoom= where allowed; the new syntax only supports z=. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Simple_image_MediaWiki_Extension > Could the editing be made interactive, so that the user can see > the map on the edit page and zoom and pan, and when pressing > the > "save" button the new coordinates are saved?

Not quite what you're after, but there is also http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slippy_Map_MediaWiki_Extension which is very similar to map, but allows viewers to drag and zoom.
