TL;DR: it is indeed elegant but there's nothing we can do with it.
The project 'sapling' basically makes Django objects versioned. For
pages, it uses a restricted subset of HTML5 plus Django template tags.
It doesn't use wikitext. The editor for HTML5 is CKEditor.
There are some nice things like the ability to have a different diff /
merge algo for each object type, like media versus text or whatever.
LocalWiki has another mode that uses wikitext but the editor in that
case is exactly like the old textarea-based stuff for MediaWiki.

My friend calls it "definitely worth a look" as rich text editing
examples go. The creator is Philip Neustrom, and he might be a useful
resource to provide a code tour or to share how they thought about
developing its features.
