:) Yes, you are right.
The main point is that it raises the bar for
participation. Yu could no
longer just drop by and make edits; you would first have to learn about
the markup language before doing anything. As it stands, you don't have
to know about the wiki syntax to do most things.
Perhaps. But people destroy lists all the time: adding innocent line
break or new line and with a sudden you broke one list into two lists.
Or they write "See [[xxx]]" or "''See also:''
[[xxx]]", etc. Providing
appropriate "tags" like "<seealso>" can help for better
uniformity.
I think that if Wikipedia ever puts out a
"stable" version for
distribution, the articles should be structured with XML. That's a job
for dedicated editors with a good knowledge of document structure.
Forcing it on the live wiki would, in my unproven opinion, by harmful.
Perhaps. Nevertheless, I'd like to give it a try; I'm seriously
interested in a Wiki using the TEI DTD as its markup language.
Unfortunately, my resources (time, knowlegde in hacking) are too
limited to such a project come true on my own.
