There's another way:
- Agree on a XML standard for wikis
- Each wiki system writes a wiki-to-XML and XML-to-wiki function
I think this doesn't resolve the main issue, which is end-user joy. What I hope to do is encourage at least a strong subset of syntax which is used universally, so that I can go to any wiki and do some basic normal things and have the result be what I want.
This has nothing to do with the separate issues of portability of wiki text, although I think that's important too.
