Hmm, well I guess I would have a hard time arguing wikiwords since it's 
practically in the dictionary now.  However, Trails through a Wiki seems 
more arguable to me as being two words..?

Understood - however, then you have another option - the pmwiki has an 
option to "space wiki words".  I guess this is affected by 
WikiWordCount, however, the only default for this setting is "PmWiki" - 
therefore by default the wiki will actually turn WikiTrail into "Wiki 
Trail"?

Surely we need to rationalise this also?  (Can't have it both ways!)
