True. There would need to be some sort of way of the owner (or a content
administrator) managing that page data, and archiving old data so it isn't
totally lost.

Or, setting permissions? Maybe these member numbers have permission to
modify the page. Or maybe on the creator's account is stored all the
previous versious of the page. So if the page gets messed up, they can
always go back and restore it. I think Steve's idea is good, it would just
have to get fleshed out to prevent or deter abuse.
