OK, so I'd love to hear what other people think on this front, but here's my
non-authoritative take: 

I think we should put in John's support for attachments as a default-to-off
feature of FlexWiki 2.0. It should be heavily commented in FlexWiki 2.0 to
point out the drawbacks - the non-support for namespaces, the fact that it's
outside normal FlexWiki security policy, the fact that it's tied to the
filesystem, etc. People can flip it on if they really need attachment
support, but we aren't going to guarantee backwards-compatibility. 

I think Pascal's code should go into a future (post 2.0 RTW) version of
FlexWiki. Whether that's 2.2 or 3.0 or what, I have no idea: at this point
I've got so much 2.0 fatigue that I can't see that far. I will say that I'd
hope it would make an appearance around the same time as the configurable
parser, since they both affect the core in potentially significant ways. We
can easily branch the 2.0 [1] code any time we want to make this happen. At
this point it would probably make sense to make the 2.2/3.0 branch the head
and march towards completion on the 2.0 branch. [2]

I'm going to sit on John's patch until next week. I'd really like to hear
comment from the community - John and Pascal in particular, but everyone
who's interested in this feature, really. Assuming that my proposal is the
way forward, I'll integrate John's change in a default-to-off configuration.
I'd like to call that Beta 2 - I feel like I've fixed all the important bugs
in the post-Beta 1 code, and it'd be nice to get a Beta 2 out there for
people to play with. 

Thoughts? 

[1] Oddly, many people seem to fear branches. Don't: they're a good thing!
