As I don't need every single page on the wiki for definite I might just manually save the dozen or so I really do need... but it would be nice to have the lot.

I often do web development in PHP and then output the final code (if someone requires HTML-only) in this way... works great. You need to have a little script to change all your links from .php to .html, but that's a single line of sed, usually.
