I agree WikiNaming is more restrictive, but I've found that it is that
restriction that keeps naming conventions very standard. PatLightbody would
always be the WikiLink for my page, but without WikiLinking it could be [Pat
Lightbody], [PatLightbody], or [Lightbody, Pat] or any other combo.
WikiNaming/Linking tends to force people in to a standard way to layout
links and generally produces content that "magically" beings to link itself
to other content, unbeknownst to the user. Ie: every word WebWork would be
automatically linked to the WebWork page -- the author doesn't need to worry
about, "gee, should this be a link". It essentially let's the author focus
on content and not navigation.

Just my off-topic opinion on the matter. I'm going to write a filter for
SnipSnap soon so that this is supported :)
