Brainstorming. A Xanadu-like translusion feature. Parts of this can be implemented quickly if there is a need.

Note: ProWiki can insert pages into other pages by using the CdmlInsert command.

Steps towards Xanadu:

extend CdmlInsert to support sections (we already have SectionAdressing and a SectionSyntax)
extend CdmlInsert to support named CdmlElements
extend the system to support including pages from other wikis (ProWiki, later cooperating engine)
extend the system to work as part of the WikiNet concept

Additional needs:

make transclusion recognizable (optional)
make translusions editable (optional edit link to the original)
deal with license issues and InterWiki collaboration (in the WikiCluster and WikiNet context)
