A very powerful feature would be an ability
to "embed" a page from anywhere on the web into
a TWiki page: %INCLUDEURL{"http://hostname:someUrl.html"}%
In PHP one can say $stream = fopen("someURL", "r") and use the
typical "while not-end-of-file read and write a line" logic -
I'm not sure how to do this in perl, but I'm sure it's in there
somewhere.

An interesting variant would be to recognize links in the
HTML delivered
by the remote server, adding target="TopicName" to each link so that they'll
show up in a new window associated with the topic.
That way, clicking on links within the text of the included page would spawn
a new window rather than taking the user away from the TWiki in the current
window. This is a great way to help people keep at least one browser window
focused on the TWiki.
