So if I'm understanding correctly, this means that:
** two
*** three
Will render as: "<p><strong> two </strong>* three</p>"
Not: "<ul><li><ul><li>two<ul><li>three</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul>"
(as MediaWiki currently does) ?
I would say it would render as:
<p> <strong> two<br /> </strong>* three </p>
We do however only **recommend** HTML. We give freedom to the wiki developer to decide which HTML s/he wishes to use as output.

To be perfectly clear, Chuck, he was only using the HTML to *illustrate semantics*. His question was almost certainly concerning those underlying semantics themselves, not that illustrative syntax.

Which makes your code not really portable, which substantially works against the purpose of creating such a syntax in the first place. This is pretty basic behavior; it's not like we're talking some corner case that will come up once in ten thousand cases.
