To me, the benefit of a more conventional wiki syntax wiould be
increased readability, especially for wiki pages. For tickets,
Fossil's wiki syntax is very reasonable and rarely needs more than the
most basic HTML.

In-browser wiki rendering does work. And, using <nowiki>, the wiki
source can be delivered to the browser. Aside from the fact this would
require additional traffic between Fossil and the browser, this is
roughly equivalent of a plug-in to Fossil.

As for the safety of HTML, the subset that Fossil allows is no less
safe than wiki syntax - errors in Fossil's HTML sanatizing not
withstanding.
