And given what they came up with, I'm really unimpressed.  MediaWiki 
markup is probably the most familiar wiki syntax to most end-users, so 
I'm trying to keep it for a wiki feature I'm going to be adding to a 
project of mine.

I've started writing a Treetop-based parser for MediaWiki markup and 
have found it surprisingly simple (at least at this early stage). 
Contributions are welcome; see http://github.com/marnen/rookie .
