Why are we looking for ways to reduce file size? Why would we want to save the whole file, and not just the changes to that file? It seems some very powerful wiki software out there, has achieved this quite nicely.
I think by looking for ways to get around having to re-engineer part of the version handling, we are also digging ourselves into a bigger hole down the road. Every other software project that has sidestepped engineering problems in the past has ended up causing themselves more grief later.
