Is dotlrn required for this?

This seems like a really useful customization for xowiki that would be applicable outside dotlrn.

Allowing wiki per group or individual seems reusable.

Since dotlrn communities are now application groups it should be straighforward to support subsites or dotlrn communities, keeping all the dotlrn specific integration in the dotlrn-eduwiki package.
