Unless we want to introduce three separate forms of

three cases, <i> is at least less wrong than the other options...
It's time to get rid of the wiki-markup - let's go for XML driven by a
nice schema (DTD or RNG). The wiki-markup as used in the WP has changed
to an expert system ("Geheimwissenschaft"). It is short, but cryptic.
It is ambiguous and make it difficult to develop a consistent look and
feel.
Without semantic markup articles are just TLOBs (text large objects).
Advanced querying is hardly possible. With proper markup you can access
the "history" of all cities easily.
If we do not switch now, our developers will re-invent XML and related
technologies step-by-step.
