Hi Michal,

For what it's worth (i'm summarizing here because i suspect that you missed
the past 37302 threads on this topic ;)... Yes, you are absolutely correct
(IMO) on each of your points. The fact is, however, that MD support has
probably been the single most-requested feature (possibly as a side-effect
of github?) in terms of fossil's wiki support. That gives it a bit more
weight, in my opinion (even though i don't personally like MD).

That said: in several of my fossil wikis i store Google Code format in the
wiki and render it client-side. My only point there is that it _is_
currently possible to integrate any wiki format(s) you want to as long as
you can render them client-side, and if you are using multiple formats you
need a way of differentiating them (so you know which rendered to use),
e.g. via a naming convention or a special markup tag in the first line, or
similar.

Here's an example which uses GoCo format exclusively:

(That doesn't look much like Fossil as you know it, but it is a custom UI
implemented on top of the JSON API.)
