I think that what sounds weird to me here is the adjective virtual 
applied to that sub-wikis. It is not less "virtual" the controller than 
any of the wikis being controlled, at some extent, by it. I think I feel 
myself more confortable speaking about a *wikisystem* or a *wikiscape 
*(perhaps XWikisystem or XWikiscape better than a XWiki Ecosystem) where 
relationships of dependence between wikis and objects within wikis need 
to be defined. Well, that seems more related with philosophy or 
anthropology then with computer science.

I see what you want here. In fact, this morning I had a good example 
that required this solution: I would need a so called administrator for 
a wiki that has not rights to modify the composition of the community 
(won't be able to create local users) although is trusted to organize 
documents/objects within that wiki.

Don't you thing it deserves a Jira idea?

Sorry, I must concentrate on Jira and forget other topics!

Cheer,
