There are a couple areas I can immediately think of where this
probably would be a bad idea to support:

Forum posts
Blog posts

In those situations, it would be unwanted to allow others to modify
the original posting, as it's not meant to be "collaborative" in the
same sense.

Perhaps we should setup content types specifically designed for
collaboration (such as the community pages, how-to guides, etc.) and
start converting pages like these over to those types so that all can
contribute?

Also, would it be possible to update the email notifications to
include the diffs? And possibly have a page to see all changes made to
a select number of "subscribed" pages? For example, with wiki's a user
can moderate certain pages, and have a single location to see all
changes recently made to their "moderated" pages to ensure no
incorrect changes have been made to those areas... Features like that
are what make wiki's so easy to use, IMO.
