OK, just please clarify this issue for me: Under whichever technical approach that's adopted, will JSPWiki users always be able to clearly see which other users previously edited a page (and not be potentially misled by interim changes in these other users' names)?
That would be my understanding yes - though mislead is an interesting word: if you change your login name, should the old pages that have your old name to automatically use your new name, or still the old name - because at the time when the history was made, that *was* your name. So you are in a way changing the history... Which incidentally means that getting a snapshot of a particular wiki at some point would be different depending on what has been happening in the repository afterwards.
I don't know whether this is even acceptable in enterprise circles, e.g. due to Sarbanes-Oxley legislation, etc.
(That could potentially actually be a strong reason to store the WikiName instead of an userid.)
