we can change to XML, which is clearer, easy to parse, easy to understand

You want an XML based language for describing the formatting of
webpages? Basically, you're suggesting we switch to XHTML (with more
some features removed and a few added). XHTML is much harder to learn
and use than wikitext, even for experienced users.
No, he suggests giving up the ability/necessity to use a text format as
users at all, going solely to a wysiayg, excuse me, wysiwyg editor.
Cause I'll love that a lot on my blackberry.
