How to make dokuwiki a good mediawiki

Comparing dokuwiki and mediawiki I come to the result that

mediawiki has the advantages

• look and feel
• known markup language
• edit buttons are above the section to be edited

while dokuwiki has the advantages

• ACL's allow me to keep pages invisible
• backup is easy because it is plain files

So to get to my perfect wiki there are two basic ways:

• use mediawiki and patch/extend it until is can do ACL's. Accept that for a backup, a script is needed.
• use dokuwiki and patches/plugins/skins until it looks like mediawiki and uses mediawiki's markup

I want the ACL features of dokuwiki and the look-and-feel of mediawiki.
