So I think that once you are familiar with xml, it's good too, right? I think we'll need a part of XHTML, not all of them, and some additional tags only. It won't be too difficult.

There is the obvious issue with backwards compatibility there,
although that can be overcome with work. The other major issue is that
no WYSIWYG system is likely to be as powerful as wikitext, or as quick
and easy to use (for experienced users). WYSIWYG is certainly much
easier for new users, but once you are familiar with wikitext, it is
generally better.
