Yep, that's why I said 'unusual' not 'unknown'. :-)

But wiki's are a very special type of web site. You could argue the same 
for Facebook etc although they work more like collections of web sites.

There are few restrictions on access but there are often restrictions on 
what you can do to them. You can't go onto wikipedia and change
the style or layout  of the pages. Also many are moderated before posts 
show up. I doubt very much if you could just go in and overlay a 
wikipedia page with an iFrame containing an Encyclopedia Britannica 
article on the same subject.
