Many articles contain complicated and advanced usages of HTML, and that seem to work out fine.
I don't think that it works out fine! Most of this is for tables and image display, which is why people work on simplifying wiki editing of these.
Editors who don't know HTML simply leaves it for someone else to maintain.
And that's whats not fine about it -- most editors ignore it.
This is not too relevant to the discussion /so long as/ we agree that any new metadata markup must be simple. Magnus' [[Category:foo]] markup is simple like that.
(Or just hidden at the bottom of the article).
I'm already one of the people that places interwiki links at the bottom.
