This is a vexed question. The technical reason is that MediaWiki
markup doesn't have a specification - the specification is, quite
literally, the PHP code in the parser.
There have been various attempts to write the specification out in
EBNF format. However, this is actually mathematically *impossible*. So
all such attempts at doing so have gotten to 90% and died.
Put it this way: liberate MediaWiki from the PHP parser code and the
devs will worship you.
