There's the copyright consideration, but also there's a certain cohesive 
benefit in having the docs right in the program, to look up tokens while 
scripting, etc.

I wonder if it would be easier to use Rev as the UI for this wiki, with 
a plugin that mods the Docs stack to add this wiki option.

That would still deliver the benefits of a wiki, while retaining the 
benefits of integrated Help, and saves the time of crafting a UI in 
HTML/JavaScript.
