Would it no still be possible to edit an article not in /John and then transclude the /John article into the new page in the same manner as a template?

A fun experimental idea:
1) Force all users to logon with a .htpassword, so apache know the name of the user
2) Some sort of conditional mod_rewrite rule that send wiki.php?page=John/ArtibleFoo to forbiddenacces.php, if username is not John ( it seems it will use %{REMOTE_USER} and RemoteConv somehow). Disabling acces based on authentificated user + url build. This will force users to build urls in a particular way ( everything inside John/ is private to John) but that is. Anyway I don't know how to build that particular set of mod_rewrite rules, or If is posible.
