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.

They were/are discussing the 'print' business.
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.
