I agree. It *does* a good job. But its not 100% kosher.

My thought was "better to convert to TW WikiText directly when we can" (not 
need another render engine unless there is no other TW way to standard

The missing piece may just be HOW to help a beginner get to grips with that

I hope we are not leaving that to fate :-).

Very interesting post! Thanks!
