Search engines shouldn't be capturing the page history content
anwyay. PmWiki's defaults:
1. Most common robots (Google, MSN, Yahoo!, etc.) that attempt to
access ?action=diff receive 403 Forbidden responses, not the
page history.
2. Even if a robot gets past the 403 Forbidden response, the output
contains a <meta name='robots' content='nofollow,noindex' />
tag telling the robot not to index the page.
