In effect, the wiki construct becomes a form of incrementally-updatable 
internet draft.  For documents involving procedures rather than 
products, this well might be a better working base than I-Ds...

But with the I-D model superimposed.

That is, perhaps what makes this workable is imposing an editor role 
onto the wiki and assign responsibility for monitoring changes to the 
editors?  (It might even be worth integrating it into the rest of the 
I-D administration environment?)

Note that this still leaves a place for published snapshots as RFCs.
