Please vote on
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extension_Syntax
To explain again what this is about:
Currently there is one extension, LaTeX for mathematical formulas. This
extension is called using the syntax
<math>a + b</math>.
This vote is about a general syntax for encapsulating different
extensions. For example, a music extension could be encapsulated like so:
<music>do re mi fa so</music>
Or like so:
[!music do re mi fa so]
This vote is *not* about the syntax for the different extensions
themselves (stuff like "\sin x + \ln y +\operatorname{sgn} z" for math),
it is merely about the syntax for encapsulating these extensions. Some
people think XML-like tags (like <math>) are good enough, while others
are asking for a more "wiki-like" syntax.
