Now that James reminds me, that is why I pretty well stopped using the InterWiki behavior or External Wiki formats. I had forgotten about them. I will update the documentation in appropriate places so that it can be found. This information will be of use as we begin work on a new parser. As Derek notes the <a> tag is a particular bear in the current implementation. I should have more detail on work for the new parser shortly.
