My intention is, to allow "styling" markup like .x-4x directly after the ID like: °.x-4x but if the user chooses to make the wikitext more "verbose" they can move the "cryptic" elements into the _params parameter and define a wikitext like so: °this-and-that-should-happen ... For me it's important that both variants work. So when PMario talks about "readability" I want to push it :-) I think what > he means is text in *"Gruber mode"*.
