It's not only that - `|' becomes magical not only at the begining of line (what would be relatively harmless), but also inside it.
It will be only magical if
- it is used inside a table and
- if a '|' is the first char at the beginning of the line
Or a "!", as of latest (yes, <th> has finally arrived!)
The only use of '|' I can think of in text (not counting links, they won't be affected) is for ASCII drawings, and for these, the line always starts with a blank anyway.
Magnus said he's going to put it live on all pedias. That's definitely the time for giving exact description.
I put one up at http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_table_markup
Beautiful! I think this will make the life of newbies a lot easier when having to use tables. And I'm also happy with the <th> tags, it's way better than using classes; we just need to implement proper visual support for headers in CSS for everyone to use it (<th> should have a different background than <td> in all skins except printer-friendly IMHO).
