Here's an idea: nice URLs for the history. So we don't end up with
stupid things peppered with ? and & and = printed on mugs, travel
guides, etc.

e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/history/Xenu for the history of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu .

Something to point at for CC-by-sa attribution is an actual reason to
put this into MediaWiki.

cc to wikitech-l - is this something suitable for Wikimedia use? Shall
I file an enhancement bug?
