I am for 2 - I think it's the easiest way, so we don't need more special

But I think this border to apply is too complicated - e.g. I have some 
time today at night and I am not registered and want to write a small 
addition to the page - then I don't wait until I'm registered and then 
maybe in a week I will continue ... I don't do it !

(I think it's different with the code in cvs ...)

Why should this be too open ? - If we see that there are problems we can 
undo the change ...
