Well, I would be more in favor of having a built-in

instead of a WYSIWYG editor. I think it'd improve readability,
especially with the new endnote syntax threatening to take over some
articles. I was going to propose doing something like this for the
Summer of Code, but I just couldn't think of an elegant way to implement
it. Using TinyMCE for code would require converting HTML-encoded
HTML/wikitext into HTML/wikitext, and a feature using Flash or Java
probably wouldn't be that popular with users.
I wasn't telling we should directly take TinyMCE. This was just an
example of what could be done.
About Wysiwyg, I think that we could limit functionalities in order to
encourage people to write "normally" and don't add lots of unusefull
stupid tags. But Wysiwyg has its real value for tables&co, because for
beginners this is a complete mess. What about an hybrid system ?
