Unlike most others encyclopedias, Wikipedia is about
ease of editing too, and editing is made harder by the
abiguity in the convert-links-once solution. What I like
in the idea of aliases is the total control of the author
over what he links to. This won't be possible if Wiki
software is the thing that decides about the conversion.
I would say that it is exactly the other way around. Tim's proposal is not
ambiguous and does not require any searching for terms in name spaces.
Your's, however, does.
