[Mediawiki-l] wikiwyg in mediawiki

MediaWiki's syntax is extremely complex and weird; switching
dynamically between this and a WYSIWYG mode is not going to be
trivial. Furthermore, we have things like dynamically transcluded and
parametrized templates which a) cannot be easily rendered as WYSIWYG,
b) can break.

Could someone who has GreaseMonkey installed post a quick evaluation
of the state of
http://demo.wikiwyg.net/wikiwyg/demo/wikipedia/ ? Does it convert
accurately back and forth between MediaWiki's syntax and WYSIWYG on
complex pages? How does it deal with templates?
