Even then, what use is such a
grammar? It probably won't help simplify the MediaWiki Parser
significantly since all the ignored features would still need to be
accounted for, as they would be in any other application that hopes to
integrate with MW syntax (for example an external WYSIWYG editor).
It would allow it to be implemented in a testable manner in other
languages, and hence in many other programs than MediaWiki.
Notably, I'd like to use wikitext for users creating pages in a CMS
like WebGUI, and for that, the first 90% is mostly enough.
Though bold and italic just *have* to be changed. :-)
