What about LDAP? It's used for authentication anyway, and it'd open
the way to block users from editing,reading etc. certain namespaces or
articles totally fine-grained... simply make a sub-element
"userWriteBlock: cn=foobar,dc=en,dc=wikipedia,dc=org" to an article /
NS entry you don't want a certain user to be able to edit.
Files could also be stored in a LDAP daemon, though this DOES suck for
anyone trying to edit the LDAP tree by hand.
