I agree entirely. Hopefully this is a problem that the
guys developing
Semantic MediaWiki (or some other MediaWiki extension) will address. I
certainly don't think it is an insurmountable problem. Just off the
top of my head: two edit views, one displays simple wikisyntax for
everyday editing and the other displays semantic-rich syntax.
mmm. At the moment, Semantic MediaWiki syntax is a tool for computer
scientists. It's not something I'd *ever* put in front of a general
user.
