Ok, now here's a completely different issue:
What should WIKIWyg *do* if you hand it something that looks like wikitext?
My intuition is that it should *not* treat it as wikitext, and this is the corner case that demonstrates why, but I can see arguments on both sides.
Discuss.
I would say it should not treat it as wikitext *if* the wikitext would do something that the editor can do via button, keyboard shortcut, etc. But if you give it something like a template that it doesn't recognize (assuming it can't call arbitrary template source via Ajax, which should be an eventual goal), then it shouldn't escape the wikitext, so that you don't lose any flexibility.
