Realistically, Tim has already stated we're not
throwing out wikitext
because of the huge body of text already in it. WYSIWYG editing is
getting there bit by bit - FCKeditor would be fine on a fresh wiki
without the unspeakable atrocities inventive geeks have perpetrated
upon wikitext on en:wp and should continue to get better at dealing
with more obtusities.
It should be possible to have wikitext and XML in parallel, even mixed -
there are already parser tags for extensions and I remember Robert Rohde
wrote they can be patched to work recursively.
