Okay, good point.

For sure... but you just have to decide for one behaviour:
a) let existing files win
b) let DokuWiki win in every case = current behaviour
Everything in between can't be completely automatic or you really need a
namespace for the wiki.

A namespace also just moves the problem because you have to hope that
you will never have to create a page outside this namespace then. And I
think the probability that a user would like to use
<http://example.com/foobar> outside <http://example.com/wiki/*> for his
wiki is much higher than inaccessibility of a clearly defined blacklist
(=existing files and dirs). However, every solution has one drawback.
Therefore I would choose the one which is probably the best for "john
doe"...
