The real downside - if I understand the concept correctly - ist that an 
open browser window isn't equal to an 'active' session. I.e. the famous 
lunch break still "breaks" the application as the ping is sent to the 
server without an user actually sitting in front of the page and editing 
it.

All those session based systems are at best suboptimal anyway. Besides 
the timeout-problem there are other issues to consider such as editing 
outside of the page (in a client based editor) an then just copy 'n' 
paste the changes back into the page.

So I'd say the mediawiki approach as outlined by Jasper is the best 
possible in the context of a stateless protocol such as HTTP.
