A Wiki is more where you can change the main content and perhaps
even the context.  I don't think that is a good idea for RFCs.

I'm thinking in terms of a hybrid Wiki where the RFC content is
static but the discussion is maintainable as a Wiki and can be
visually associated with the RFC content.  You'd also want the RFC
content to be clearly distinguished from the discussion.

One of the assumptions here is that discussion without editorial
discretion can add color to static informaion. While the case for that
can certainly be made, we have abundant evidence of it not doing so in
the context of ietf mailing lists.

RFC's (WG documents in general) are the editorial filter through which
we pass/preserve the contributed discussion that is deemed informative.
