As WikiText grew from the DotGNU initiative, some consideration must be paid to ways in which it could effectively interact with other DotGNU initiatives. Note that the discussion to follow is purely speculative at this point and requires significant reality checks.

Every tag and data chunk in WikiTexi will have a URI associated with it. Conceptually, this should allow the construction of documents that in actuality are "owned" by multiple servers. The Document Manager must be intelligent enough to know whether to search locally for a chunk or to inquire to its opposite number at another WikiTexi installation through an RPC/Service invokation.
