The normalisation only really needs to happen once, though. There may be a few little bits where people have made wikitext edits since the last WYSIWYG edit, but the whole article will only need to be normalised the first time there is a WYSIWYG edit.
Only if you immediately go all-WYSIWYG and no-one is ever allowed to directly edit wikitext ever again. This strikes me as likely to go over very badly indeed.
No. I clearly said there would be small amounts of normalisation to deal with new wikitext edits, but that the whole article would only need to be normalised once. I was not assuming we would do away with wikitext editing entirely (and wouldn't support doing so).
