Some have mentioned the possibility of using the wiki family logic to help achieve these objectives. Do you have any thoughts on this? If you think it is a good idea, how do we find out more about it?
I'd just treat it same as any other wiki. Whether you're running one or multiple wiki instances out of one copy of the code base, it just doesn't make a difference here.

Not to hammer this point to hard, but there is another reason for supporting switching in of temporary resources.
We have one worked example of a Selenium test - PagedTiffHandler. During the course of its execution, it uploads some tiff files to test some of its functionality. Currently, once an image is uploded, there is no way to completely delete it (short of drastic administrative action involving raw database manipulation). So, running PagedTiffHandler twice doesn't work unless you switch in temporary resources on each run that are then deleted at the end of the run.
