very nice: they left the foreign language links untouched.
any other hardcoded URLs in the sourcecode? "As you can edit the page right now" there may be some danger.
URLs for local links are controlled by a local settings file that has to be manually configured by the person setting up the server. (Unless they really are at http://www.myhost.com/...) Edit links are local links, so you edit the local copy of the page.
It might ultimately be a good idea to have some kind of explicit 'mirror mode' such that there's a "see and/or edit the current version of this page on the main server"-ish link instead of a local edit link.
And perhaps a way to dump a static HTML tree. -- Incidentally, the total combined size of the pages in article and Wikipedia: space on the English wiki is about 172 megabytes. The upload directories bring another 134 megs; we still fit on a CD-ROM uncompressed. That may not remain so, though...
