Nope. As far as syntax goes, I'm leaving it as is. This is mainly for 
backwards compatibility. I'm not a huge fan of the syntax. I think better 
ones can easily be written. Unfortunately, I think we are somewhat stuck 
with this syntax as many people already know it and quite a few Swikis use it.
I, for instance, would favor a syntax with []'s indicating a link and ** 
indicating emphasis.

That being said, I think the Swiki syntax is reasonable and the formatters 
are easily changed, so others can come up with their favorite syntax and 
will hopefully share that on the Swiki Swiki.

Peace and Luck!
