I think the goal at this point is as simply described earlier, with ability to 
edit source files or online and have everything be syncable.  If that means 
using a subset of Docbook or avoiding features of Mediawiki syntax, I think we 
could manage.  We would just want to document and test for what to avoid just 
like other validation steps we have in place.

If someone finds another way, fantastic.  At this point, though, we’ve spent 
years trying to get a near-100% solution while presenting outdated and 
incomplete docs — i.e., a 0% solution — to users…  It’s okay if we have 
limitations.  It so incredibly far more important to get something in place 
better than the zero-sync we have now.  :)

Cheers!
