I think these sort of assumptions about wysiwyg are wrong. Just
because Word encourages people to increase the font and use bold
instead of adding a properly structured header does not mean that a
wiki solution would do the same thing. The FCK Editor for MediaWiki
has options for "normal, heading 2, heading 3, preformatted".
Increasing the font size isn't an option in wysiwyg any more than it
is in wikitext (you can still switch to wikitext and do that with HTML
if you need to). Wikia will hopefully have a public demo of this soon
so I can show you what I mean.
