I'm aware that JSPWiki doesn't perform any operations (that I'm aware of) on the authoring history. But I think that reduces the value of the wiki (if users can't - definitively - learn who the previous editors of a page are). Maybe I'm missing something, but you indicate that "[h]umans .. will of course care" - but isn't that a pretty important consideration?
