Larry is going to blacklist me for even suggesting this, but this might be 
a case where subpages are not such a bad idea ...

But may I suggest that even if you decide to go with your own wiki, you 
upload the evolving standard to wikipedia once a month or so? Perhaps with 
a message noting that editing it on the wikipedia will be a fairly futile 
effort, since you will be overwriting it once a month, and if they want to 
contribute they should contact you. That way your team could develop it 
without interference  from the yahoos, and wikipedia would still have the 
advantage of  making the information available.
