I agree about the content oriented pages not needing
absoulte references themselves, but the wiki and
cookbook docs might have content oriented pages that
discuss and give examples of infrastucture oriented
pages.  In other words they will not affect 
the infrastructure on the main pmwiki site and so
they could go unoticed (since they are only examples
or recipes) until someone tries to use them to affect
the infrastucture of their own sites.

Now, I am only aware of the ExpandingMenus recipe,
and that's because I use and wrote some of it, but
my fear is that no one has the general knowledge to
find the other cases easily (even if they are very
few!)

Oviously, I am just playing devil's advocate here 
since I do like the idea very much,
