Eh. I'm not particularly interested in building features that only work in VE and not wikitext, and particularly not in ones that would require changing both the wikitext used to write talk pages for the benefit of VE users and disrupting wikitext.

Yeah, special markup in this case is an annoyance. I'm picturing n00bs using the VE (newbies I throw at the VE *love* it *so much* ... I need to try them on adding a reference) and going "... ah. There's discussion on this point."
