If I understand you correctly, manual monitoring and moderation is the only way to prevent a user from, for example, adding a bunch of objects to a page that is supposed to be wikitext-only. I don't think I would have designed XWiki with such loose restrictions, but if this was the design philosophy from the beginning then it makes more sense.
