Federating Wikis and Overlays

CommunityWiki: SubsetWiki.  This is an interesting discussion about federation of wikis and how that works when there are different authentications, authorizations, and whatnot of various communities that have different uses for particular layers/overlays/subsets.  I think it gets weirder because the subsets are graphs, and the same node (or different flavors of the same node) might appear in multiple graphs.  So, if the nodes have the same wikiLabels, and different visible content, it gets very tricky.  I am not at all sure of the conceptual model that will work for people.
