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.
That would be interesting... and a lot of work. You would want some editing tools that go beyond what the typical wiki provides.

I believe Nupedia (Wikipedia's parent encyclopedia project) used XML markup. That project had a division of labour between writers and editors: the former simply wrote the articles, while the latter did all the fancy markup.
