Not at all. It's actually a very nice way to "clean" the URL without
using the slow and problematic rewrite module. note the last Alias
command that does the trick.

the only drawback is that the wiki pages namespace will have to be under
/wiki and not directly at the root (breaks the Alias mechanism I
think, needs to  be figured out)
