How important are > these issues? Bugs have a habit of setting their own priority. If these bugs were regularly being hit by users, they would have been resolved ages ago (in theory!). But they only appear in very, very strange edge cases, which have the lowest user impact (not quite zero, but slightly above). My recommendation would be to add some parser tests for these bugs, mark them as failing, and if the rewrite doesn't take care of them, re-examine them then. There are so many more bugs that are affecting so many people. The fact that you can't combine three types of esoteric wiki syntax in certain ways currently really shouldn't be a very high concern. I think that's roughly what Tim was trying to say.
