Well I had vaguely thought, insofar as I had thought at all, that
it would go like this:
- get a page and break it into pre-chunk, chunk, post-chunk
- author edits chunk and presses post
- assemble pre-chunk, new chunk, post-chunk
- give it to PmWiki, which thinks it's just another edited page
- PmWiki figures out any other edits and deals with them
  in its usual no worries way and it's not my problem
- modify preview so that it only shows new chunk, but
  remembers pre-chunk and post-chunk

Do I perhaps hear an 'It's Not That Simple, You Are About To 
Fall Into Grimpen Mire, Turn Back Before It's Too Late'?
