To be safe in future I'd like to change this anyway.

Isn't the $_REQUEST-array reset in pmwiki.php ? I thought this is done with 
the code

if (ini_get('register_globals')) {
   foreach($_REQUEST as $k=>$v) { unset(${$k}); }
}

at the very beginning. So if I use $_REQUEST, there will be no variables, 
right ?
