By the way: those who want an accurate two-way WYSIWYG editor for
Mediawiki are invited to help with the effort to write a Mediawiki
grammar:

    http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Markup_spec
    http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Markup_spec/ANTLR
    http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitext-l

Steve Bennett is leading the ANTLR effort (which is looking very
promising), but any help is *most* welcomed.

This won't lead to a WYSIWYG editor immediately, but it will help
write a better parser with behaviour defined other than in the code
itself, and therefore (a) reimplementable (b) with wikitext much more
feasibly writable by external tools such as WYSIWYG editors.
