Yes, but this eliminates the avoidance of interaction that David
Goodman cited as a benefit.

And if that's the case, what *is* the benefit?  Why dedicate effort
and resources toward duplicating the normal editing experience instead
of simply sending the users to Wikipedia?

Various contributors to this discussion seem to have different ideas
in mind, but as Thomas said, I don't see how any setup wouldn't result
in either problematic isolation or pointless redundancy.
