The way I see it, editing in Mediawiki syntax will necessarily result in
the loss of docbook semanticity. Therefore, if the goal is to preserve
this syntax, something other than simple conversion between docbook and
Mediawiki is necessary. However, if flattened semantics are acceptable,
mediawiki syntax would be viable. I looked some at the convluence plugins
a couple months ago, and it didn't look too promising, but someone else may
have some way to make it more worthwhile, as there is definitely a clearer
starting point than with Mediawiki.
