Even WikiWYG concedes that it's highly unlikely that it will get integrated into the official MediaWiki codebase.
I think there's a grave naming problem going on, since there's a very good Javascript toolkit called wikiwyg that is slowly on its way into MediaWiki in some capacity:
I think its the biggest hope for getting wysiwyg editing features into MediaWiki. I think there are very high acceptance criteria for having it installed on Wikimedia -- being bug-compatible with every crazy hack that people do with Wikitext -- but I don't think they're insuperable.
I'm not sure what the probability of that Ajax-y MW code migrating to the core is, though.
