I concur with your sentiment, but then having used Wikis I know that you 
can still throw in <img>, <table> and any other <html>. I even had to throw 
in <ul>...</ul> in a Wiki table (which is done with vertical bars) because 
inside a cell, the Wiki conventions seem to disappear.

And I do loathe the Wiki syntax for a heading (---+++) so they aren't 
perfect. But neither is HTML. So if Geoff or somebody wants to tweak 
Webware so that Docs/*.stext (or some other extension) gets converted to 
*.html, I would certainly be amenable. We'd need some discussion on syntax, 
whose-code, etc.
