You seem to be talking about something utterly unrelated to this thread...

The only XML under discussion here is an internal back-end 
representation of template metadata to drive a sane template invocation 
user-interface:

* field names and descriptions (localizable)
* field types/validation info
* field grouping and optional/required info
* other documentation & display info

This would not be exposed to editors, viewers or readers; nor is it in 
any way related to whether, how, or when we might some day alter or 
replace wiki markup.
