Or making the edit box as fancy-shmancy as the article -- like being able to
collapse some features... or previewing images! or WYSIWYG editing box! or
telepathic article writing!
What about pressing a button and finding that 100,000 featured articles have
been written?

This:

[[population:=1,000,000,000]].
is not.
Agreed. I don't see a major benefit in attempting to write "semantics"
*in* the text. This would be fine:
Paris is a city in France with a population of 10,000,000.
...
[[Category:...]]
[[Type:=City]]
[[Location::France]]
[[Population:=10000000]]
Perhaps rather than attempting to fuse that stuff with the text, try
fusing it with an infobox, which is inherently a way of formatting raw
data?
