I'm still undecided about this.
Manipulation of _current_ page data seems to be much simpler with
DokuWiki. But accessing the compressed "attic" versions is harder.
Page metadata in a separate file makes mangling harder in certain
situations.
If you keep many revisions with only small changes, I guess that the
DokuWiki system needs much more space.
I don't know how much CPU time PmWiki needs to process the diffs in
this case (many small changes) to get edit/display data.
Rather difficult to rate the two approaches.
