Has it ever been considered to separate the MediaWiki markup parser from the
core MediaWiki project?  It seems to me that if the parser stood on its own,
it would help wiki adoption by allowing others to use the same syntax as the
most popular wikis in the world (Wikipedia).  As MediaWiki has pledged
support for Creole, it seems that eventually the wiki parsing in MediaWiki
will have to be converted to accomodate a common interface that works for
both MediaWiki and Creole, so why not use this opportunity to free out the
core parser?
