Just resurrecting this thread: I think my change is a good one, and if
there are any actual arguments against it, I'd like to hear them. What
David is asking is a bit much: for me to find examples where a user
has entered wikitext which renders as basically nothing, and chosen to
leave it like that. More likely, the user would realise that the
sequence ;foo: renders in an unhelpful way, and would use a <nowiki>.
Perhaps the onus should be on someone else to find these mythical
examples to show how they would render incorrectly with the change.
