Could you point to a few websites that, at least in part, do what you
want? Maybe you like the SVN display from, say, WebSVN, the page
markup interface of Trac, and the commenting engine of Slashdot?
Right now, it seems that we--the community--are playing a game of
"guess what Mark likes." While this may be amusing for some number of
nanoseconds, it is liable to get frustrating both both sides.

So long as there's no diffraction, I think we're okay.
