[html4all] [Resource Limitation] lack of discussion pages on ESW wiki

aloha!

the review of materials on the ESW wiki in HTML topic space is 
severely hampered by the lack of "discussion" pages for each 
wiki page -- without which, the only way to engage in "discussion"
via the wiki is to directly edit a wiki page, which can completely 
distort the original intention of the page; a simple example is the 
wiki page located at:

http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/Action54AltAttribute

which reflects a proposal submitted to the working group; discussion 
of this proposal on the ESW wiki SHOULD be facilitated through an 
associated discussion page, so that comments upon the content of
a particular wiki article can be addressed without either materially
changing the content of a wiki article or causing article bloat as
more careful commentators append their proposals to a wiki article
at the end of the original article, which often means repeating a 
lot of text...

is this something which can be corrected in a timely manner?  is it 
even possible with MoinMoin?
