Before anyone on my site goes to do this, I ask:
are "=" sections bona
fide markup that will be supported in all future revisions?
The syntax I'm working on eliminates them, but otherwise they
are semantically equivalent to == sections.
Please don't do that, they happen to be very useful.
The particular instance which springs to mind is on talk pages for
templates, to demarcate between =Documentation= and =Discussion=. Because
the "Add a comment" function, available through the "+" button, adds
comments at the "==" level, it is handy to document the template at the
start of the talk page and insert "=Discussion=" after, so that further
comments fall properly into line.
The top-level header is a part of Mediawiki syntax, even if it is not used
in many places: please don't fiddle with it without considering all possible
consequences.
