$WikiWordCount[] is simply intended to control the number of times
a wikiword is converted into a link, it doesn't change the way 
that the wikiword is displayed (including spacing).

No, the note in PITS is wrong.  What was actually fixed in 2.0.beta30 
was that setting $LinkWikiWords = 0; (i.e., disabling all wikiwords)
would turn off spacing of wikiwords.

One can disable specific wikiwords in markup by preceding the word
with a backtick (i.e., `WikiWord).  If you need something to prevent
certain words from being spaced or treated as wikiwords at all,
I can come up with some examples.
