Tarquin,
I (and probably most people I know (yeah, I live a sad life among the SGML, XML and HTML communities)) would disagree strongly with Wiki markup on a number of grounds. Firstly it's quirky and non-standard. The whole point of the standard mark-up languages is that they're not difficult to learn and carry both visual and informational order. H1, H2, H3 cannot be replicated by wiki markup in any sense. We are also really going to need these once we get to really large articles which require structure to the substance.
I don't understand. What about the = Header 1 =, == Header 2 ==, and === Header 3 === etc. markup?
Indeed. So these guys have learned SGML, HTML1, 2, 3 and 4, and probably type it by hand for a living, but learning the Wiki mark-up, wow, that is asking just too much. :-)
