I think the conflict is resolved if we use two handlers
(/attachment{,s}/), and then start a new convention:
/attachment/wiki/....../file always ends in the attachment. If if there
happens to be a wiki page of the same name/path it will be ignored. Make
the "no such attachment" error message helpful, and people won't even
have to email the list...one can always hope.
