Having said that, I don't see why would XML

template markup are well structured and could be used by any editor just
as XML would. Additionally, it is easier to observe diffs with wiki markup.
Is it possible, currently, to define the types of parameters to
functions? Can you include hints in them about what the parameter is
for? Can you specify maximum lengths, or choose from a small number of
choices?
It seems that we are talking about two different things here:
1) What would be the markup of template description pages, that will be
used to make template editing forms.
2) What would be the markup of a template call, that will be used in the
source of article pages to make actual template call.
Given that #1 is an entirely new thing, it can have an entirely new
markup. I see no reason for it not to be XML. #2 however should be kept
as is.
