Maybe the answer is to somehow use the IP address of the "Private" 
users to map the page background of the "Public" wiki to a 
watermarked background that says "Warning: Public wiki".  Everyone 
outside that IP net-block just gets a regular background.

Or maybe it's possible to re-map the standard NS_MAIN namespace to 
the NS_PRIVATE (custom) one.

It all sounds like it's getting messy ...

Sigh !

Anyone got any other bright ideas ???
