Mind you, if the content produced with MediaWiki
(so, Wikipedia) became less dependent on the
low-level stuff, it might be "good thing" yet.
Right now, the markup is a html by other name.
Now, if it could be turned to the structure-only
plus presentation-only somehow, sort of xml-ish,
then even visual editor wouldn't really hurt...
Part of a bigger problem, really: how far can
the arbitrary piece of software "stretch", given
new, ever-expanding sets of requirements
continue to be produced? Are all of those
requirements wise?

Such plans seem very scary to me, as I think the
PLAIN-TEXT is one of the MOST IMPORTANT features
of Wiki software! And you basically say you want
to move away from it and turn MediaWiki to
another Word, having all problems of "WYSIWYdnG"
