Won't WYSIWYG with multiple backend (and thus renderers) become a mess? Most
of them have the habit of producing quite dirty code (with empty and very
nested tags), and not all backends would react the same on this.

Despite my dislike of the limitations of wiki, the solution they have (edit
with tags, have an example rendering in a memo below) is easier and more
practical I think.
