Not really.

Yes.  PmWiki essentially looks for lines beginning with a word and
a colon and uses those as InterMap entries.

It shouldn't be significantly slower.

Currently, the precedence is (highest to lowest):

    local/localmap.txt
    $SiteGroup.InterMap
    $FarmD/local/farmmap.txt
    $FarmD/scripts/intermap.txt

The precedence can be changed via the $InterMapFiles variable.
