Okay,
Next PhpWiki project proposal:
   Convert other Wiki Formats to ours.
   Could happen that other wiki's will not be maintained anymore.

   And if there's such a converter class, we could also convert our
   format to others. So we can get rid of XML.
   Jeff's Inline/BlockParser framework comes quite handy for such
   a job.

But at first I'll finish the more important goals. :)
