As you, I intend to make heavy use of footnotes on that wiki's pages;
but unlike you, I'd allow any editor to edit any section of the main
text or add any footnote, as long as such modifications are
differentiated, in color, from the main editor's text or footnotes.
Of course, should the main editor of the page accept a proposed
solution from a secondary editor, he could make the text of that
proposed modification display in the default page color (black)
rather than in navy.
If there is a way to arrange for this in MediaWiki to occur
automatically, I have no idea.
Yes, I'm quite sure this is possible to do using the history, almost sure it
can be done even without patches, through extensions only.
It seems that your ideas at a higher level are close to those of Project
Xanadu (
www.xanadu.com).
