I'd like to argue with Manuel against a broken editor as it generates 
additional work. Without permanent watching and fixing, even content 
can be lost.

If we go for pure Wiki-markup, what do we lose? 

Some pages might not look as nice as they would but nothing would be 
broken/lost. My personal opinion is clearly, better some correct but 
ugly pages than nice but broken.

If really necessary, I'd even volunteer to help beginners tidying up 
markup ;-)

But I'd not volunteer doing absloutely stupid work of fixing pages 
people have destroyed without noticing. You'll have to review any 
single edit then! A nightmare.
