That's a great idea. But now we are back to an even more fundamental difficulty. I'm trying to convert users from their current paradigm of sharing information via attached WORD DOCs in email to large lists of readers, to keeping their shared documents in the wiki. The barest hint of trying to learn any new markup is a stumbling block to begin with. Attempting to enforce semantic markup conventions in a random group of users seems impossible without a dedicated team of annotators.
It is really tough trying to get folks to share information.

Yes, the barriers are very low, but pick the average person, and they are very high indeed. Most wiki users are self-selected. Asking a group of a thousand to do it the wiki way gets you about 10 folks. And the damn DOC files don't do well when you paste them into a wiki. If they are employees, give a 1% pay raise to those who use the wiki, and leave it up to them which they use. Everyone should have a choice in life...
