Well, the wiki premise is that /everybody/ is the judge and the wiki will settle down with the proper answer.  That is taking quite a lot on faith, especially with something that is pretty subjective and is subject to a lot of ownership-pride.  That is what I was alluding to when I wrote:
  With the wiki, it still may not work, because people may not contribute and
  there is a risk of people getting into "my implementation is better than your
  implementation" fights.  Hopefully we are all smarter than that.
