*However*, if every (major) wiki would have a wiki-to-XML and a
XML-to-wiki parser (which we'll have to do anyway, in a way, for #3),
*then* we could
- - read our wiki text from the database for editing
- - convert it on-the-fly to XML
- - convert the XML to any syntax the user wants, including a yet-to-be
written standard
- - convert the user's input to XML on saving
- - convert the XML to MediaWiki syntax for storing in the database
Well I think
you already mentioned a link to your xml format, but
I didn't found it it my archives.
Could you please post it again.
There are other projects like James Gosling's and Henry Story's
Bloged - blog editor which are also interested in using Wiki syntax
for their tool:

A wiki-to-xml and xml-to-wiki could really help for this task.
