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?

One of the fundamental tenets of wikis is that they remain as close to natural language and markup as possible -- the wiki format should remain readable.
This:
Paris is a [[type:=city]] in [[located in::France]], with a population of [[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?
