I agree.
A realtime wiki project is currently under development in the Google
summer of code context:
http://wiki.jabber.org/index.php/Real-time_wiki

The idea is exactly this, build on XMPP and the pubsub protocol for the
server part.
The code is developed by Grzegorz Grasza and I am mentoring the work.

XMPP is a good idea for that as many building bricks are already
available:
- Pubsub engine (in ejabberd)
- XMPP Javascript client-side libraries.

The Realtime wiki project should be the basis of a very nice Ajax
framework.
