We do have per-page edit restrictions, though. Traditionally, you'd solve this by creating two pages (one with pros, one with cons), which you can place different edit restrictions on, and jam them together using transclusion. But of course that doesn't really allow for cleanly rebutting points when you can't edit the point itself.
Roan, how specific can per-page edit restrictions be? And could you explain the meaning of your last sentence.
I'm beginning to think that even though debate topics are more contentious than the average Wikipedia article, it may indeed be OK to have totally open editing, relying on the reversion mechanism.
