Sorry for the typo. as written this is my workaround I am currently using.

As I said, I am aware of this solution. but it would be ‘proprietary’. I
consider this option to be an undesired fallback plan. every new piece of
markup has to be documented and communicated to the authors.

This should be almost true and I am currently working on my css (some screwup
with z-indeces) to make it work. Still the problem remains, that in order to
validate against an XHTML DTD I can only nest <span>s and other inline elements
inside which is as far as I know impossible with PmWiki as of this time. Within
a <div> I can nest a whole lot more.
Best regards,
