I think this exchange of ideas is very good. I hope it can evolve and help create a really secure access control system for MediaWiki.

Don't use a wiki if you want a secure access-controlled environment. Use a proper CMS or a document management system.

I'm definitely not looking for a super secure access-controlled environment. I'm building a public web page with multiple editors, and want to prevent those editors from accidentally or intentionally overwriting portions of the site they aren't responsible for. The Wiki platform is perfect for what we want, with an extension like PageSecurity (which unfortunately is not available for 1.9 yet) or Group Based Access Control (which I'm looking at now) to provide basic editing protection.
I'm definitely learning a lot from this debate - thanks for the info!
