I would like to use the logical markup, i.e. <strong> instead of <span>.
With <span>, we only provide optical markup, while we provide real context
with <strong>. This is important when we want to have an accessible site,
i.e. for handicapped users.
Moreover, nothing hinders theme authors the use the <strong> tag for their
markup purposes. If you want to enable them to select a special markup for
those wiki-like formattings, I suggest to use a special class for those
tags, like <strong class="wiki">. This way, every author can specifically
markup the tags in the wiki, while still offering good accessibility. If
the CSS defines no special class "wiki" for <strong>, it's just marked up
like the rest of the page.
Cheers,
