Perhaps this is where we can cooperate more with other Wiki writers to develop a common Wiki markup. From my brief perusal of efforts, it looks like there is a community of developers involved in http://www.wikicreole.org/ but MediaWiki involvement is lacking (http://bit.ly/hYoki3 — for a email from 2007(!!) quoting Tim Starling).
(Note that I think any conversation about parser changes should consider the GoodPractices page from http://www.wikicreole.org/wiki/GoodPractices.)
If nothing else, perhaps there would be some use for the EBNF grammar that was developed for WikiCreole. http://dirkriehle.com/2008/01/09/an-ebnf-grammar-for-wiki-creole-10/
WikiCreole used to not be parsable by a grammar, either. And it has inconsistencies like "italic is // unless it appears in a url". Good to see they improved.
