Actually, it's not site-wide, it's only when a WikiWord would result
in a link to that page -- i.e., within the same group.  (or, if the
pagename is the same as a Group name, or if the admin has changed
$WikiWordPagePathFmt to search other groups.)

There's no site-wide GroupHeader as yet.  But yes, this is another
plausible approach.  One could envision it happening both ways,
with directives to indicate words that *should* be considered links
to pages as well as directives to disable specific words.
