Hey, it would be really nice if this recipe had the ability to pack 
files locally instead of on the server. It would be the ultimate backup 
solution for PmWiki.

Does it need to be unstructured text? Could it possibly be a .txt file 
containing source markup?

Does it need to be .txt? Could it possibly be a .txt file containing the 
markup?

Or perhaps the cache destination (local or remote) could be chosen via 
config.php...

Would it be possible to serve these cached pages instead of having the 
server render from source every time a page is viewed? If so, this would 
interest me really very much because I host my site with a friend's host 
and would like to reduce server usage.

action=delete is already taken by another recipe. BTW PmWiki's deleted 
pages are kept in history as long as the normal editions, aren't they?

Just to make it clear. I don't really think the terms you used were all 
that bad. But you asked for ideas... So I gave them...
