I decided to release my new syntax for comment before I finished the formal definition. I'd like to get opinions about it; in particular:
1) Is there any current mediawiki feature--including those relying on embedded HTML--that can't be done with this new syntax in a cleaner way?
2) Are there any ways to simplify this further without sacrificing functionality?
Note: I'm not married to the exact characters used; I'm not so much interested in the minute details as the overll structure, though suggestions about details are welcome too.
