For "most", but not for "all". How are large (I mean really large)
documents going to be handled? Multipage things are pain in the
neck for wikis; and section numbering is nightmare.
By the way, I see it generating DocBook, but somehow cannot
see it getting DocBook as input and rendering it.

Apache benchmark or a simple bot trying a DDoS by "using"
the service?

The brute force approach: a script checking out revisions from
their very start and punching them to wiki -- even via web
(btw, nice to mix it with the "DoS test").
By the way, there might be people who just love CVS... How do
you handle those who do _not_ like editing from within their
browsers?

Make static copies for them via a cron job (I mean, unadorned,
standalone documents)?
