Well, one suggested solution was piping the

One obvious weakness with this is we don't have a way of terminating sections. Granted, that's a problem in general with sections of this sort, but it crops up here. Perhaps we would allow something like this as a terminator: ==|==
(pretty isn't it :))
Sections terminate at either the next section header marker, or the next one at that level -- doesn't matter which, as long as it's declared at release time. Both have advantages.
but while I understand why that is most intiutive to people who *get* Wikipedia, I suspect it's a bit too breakable when confronted with people who don't--and there are a lot more of them. So I like a template or parser function that takes an argument and expands to the appropriate hidden markup to support the pointer, myself.
So something like this? {{section header tag|secthead}}
Or do you mean: ==section header tag== {{sectionmagicword|secthead}}
The latter, yes. If you're tagging something for remote retrieval, you want the tag decoupled from both the accidental section number, and the human changeable section header text.
