Hmm. You remind me of an optimization I've thought about in the past: when
a page is saved after editing, convert it to xhtml and store it. When
pages are served, there's no transformation to do. When a page is pulled
for editing, you have to convert it to wiki markup again. The downside, of
course, is twice as much code (converting between the two formats).
