To me, it seems strange to hide the "wiki-nature" of OWW behind a
static html page.    Maybe the only reason that Wikipedia has that
html page is that people mostly use Wikipedia in their own language?
So one reason that "http://en.wikipedia.org" is not the wikipedia
mainpage is that might offend some of the other major language
projects?

Not sure Wikipedia is such a great example for us this time...
