An interesting mechanism that Wikipedia doesn't currently support.  The
real problem is not with one side updating its own material.  It's
updating the other side's.  Wikipedia doesn't control who can update
what.  That's a fundamental part of the model.  You could always change
things so that only the originator can update some material, but then
you'd have a very different model.
